The cost of housing is a top concern for likely voters in Utah according to Sutherland Institute research. It’s easy for housing affordability to feel like an intractable issue, but one national expert argues that we can solve this policy challenge by reforming local zoning policies.
Nic Dunn talks with Nolan Gray, former New York City planner and current senior director of legislation and research for California YIMBY. Nolan shares the argument from his book Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It, that the solution to the housing crisis facing America’s cities is to rethink and reform local zoning laws to allow the housing market to better respond to demand.
