On the Housing Crisis: Land, Development, Democracy

Jerusalem Demsas

Jerusalem Demsas' "On the Housing Crisis" offers a compelling and accessible examination of America's complex housing shortage. The book identifies exclusionary zoning and restrictive land use policies as primary culprits, highlighting how local democracies have become complicit in anti-development aspirations that benefit a few at the expense of many. Demsas also points to severely underfunded affordable housing programs, and deep-rooted political and institutional barriers as key factors exacerbating the crisis. Through a collection of essays, the author illuminates the political and institutional changes that have made it increasingly difficult for people to access housing in areas of opportunity, challenging readers to understand why something as seemingly popular as abundant, affordable housing remains elusive. By focusing on these systemic issues, Demsas provides a refreshing and comprehensive guide to understanding this generation-defining national emergency.
