The superficial answer is “supply and demand,” but the deep answer―the reason supply is so low―is a regulatory system that treats developers like criminals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBuild, Baby, Build: The Science and Ethics of Housing Regulation\u003c\/i\u003e, economist Bryan Caplan makes the economic and philosophical case for radical deregulation of this massive market―freeing property owners to build as tall and dense as they wish. Not only would the average price of housing be cut in half, but the building boom unleashed by deregulation would simultaneously reduce inequality, increase social mobility, promote economic growth, reduce homelessness, increase birth rates, help the environment, cut crime, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining stunning homage to classic animation with careful interdisciplinary research, \u003ci\u003eBuild, Baby, Build\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on a grand tour of a bona fide “panacea policy.” We can start realizing these missed opportunities as soon as we abandon the widespread misconception that housing regulation solves more problems than it causes.","brand":"Cato Institute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353655361791,"sku":"9781952223419","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_0a67c73d-9b00-4949-8445-8bdda68b8506.jpg?v=1773929921","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781952223419","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
