My recent blog post on Planetizen.com’s Interchange sparked an extensive debate and discussion on the role of land-use planning and the housing bubble.

Reason has published several studies on the impact of growth management laws, including ones on Washington State and Florida here, and an update on Florida for the James Madison Institute here.
