Told You

In a recent entry, I took issue with Edmund Phelps in the Financial Times, who opined in true, brainless, right wing fashion that what was making housing unaffordable was regulation.  I pointed out that modern land use regulations encourage affordability.  And to support my position, I need go no farther than...the Financial Times.  Kate Allen has a feature about the downsizing of housing and multi-generational housing designed to take us back to the good old days before the nuclear family.  And these new approaches to residences are being facilitated (and made affordable) by land use planning.  Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Ed.
