Doublewide Dudes

This week, we chat with Anthony Flint of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.
We discuss how government land policies can artificially restrict land usage limiting
density and therefore leading to artificial inflation of land values. Not only does it lead
to skyrocketing housing costs, but a smaller tax base, underutilization of space, and
greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.
We also talk a bit about the YIMBY (Yes, In My Back Yard) movement, and how it
takes concerned citizens to help shape government policy. Is there too much
government interference? Mr. Flint has an interesting insight into that as well.

This week our guest is Professor Daniel Mandelker, author of “Zoning Barriers
to Manufactured Housing” published in the journal Urban Law. Professor
Mandelker covers how, in many places in our country, restrictive zoning and
building codes have unfairly prevented access to manufactured housing, which
negatively affects the ability of communities to provide additional affordable
housing.
Professor Daniel Mandelker is one of the country's leading scholars and
teachers in land use law and co-author of a popular law school casebook,
"Planning and Control of Land Development," now in its Ninth Edition. He also
authored "Land Use Law, a comprehensive treatise in this field" and co-authored
"Property Law and the Public Interest."
Professor Mandelker has lectured throughout the world including Cambridge
University in England and is also the principal consultant to the American
Planning Association's model zoning and planning legislation project.

Chris Nicely of Next Step talks about Sustainable Affordable Housing in this country,
how affordability in housing is growing out of reach for a larger percentage of
Americans, and some possible solutions.
Next Step is a nonprofit is dedicated to helping make housing more affordable in the
United States through advocacy, education, and individual assistance. To learn more
about Next Step, you can visit https://nextstepus.org/.

We’re turning our focus in the podcast to the growing affordable housing crisis,
because it is not just a crisis for the poor anymore.
As Journalist Patrick Sisson put it last year, “Hey, middle class, the housing crisis is
coming for you next.”
Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies published its annual housing report for
2020 and we are seeing scary trends that the crisis is hitting the middle class hard.
If we want the American dream to stay within reach for average Americans, we are
going to have to act now. Listen in as we begin to explore affordable housing in
America.
