The Housing Bias

Arguing that our laws are skewed to benefit entrenched homeowners, at the expense of newcomers and lower-income households, this book advocates both for libertarian ideals and for social justice - an unusual and revealing combination.

"This book presents a very unique way of approaching real world examples of different zoning situations. A smooth and easy read with a variety of interesting anecdotes and examples." - Chad Emerson, Professor of Law, Faulkner University, Jones School of Law
