Politicians love to point with alarm and outrage at the homeless problem in America as the fault of business -- for not paying fair salaries -- but it's more to truth that government is the source of the crisis. If government didn't have such burdensome restrictions on building, based on zoning policies, or environmental regulation, or other costly permitting requirements, then free market builders would be freed to build and potential homeowners would be in better financial positions to buy. Jim Burling, with Pacific Legal Foundation, has conducted in-depth research on the homeless crisis in America and has found, in his new "Nowhere to Live," that government is to blame for almost all that ails those living in the streets and in tents.
