Regulation and Political Manipulation Caused the Homeless Crisis with Jim Burling

Jim Burling. VP of Legal Affairs at Pacific Legal Foundation, has been litigating property rights, environmental, and land-use cases for over 40 years - and just wrote a brand new book: Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America’s Housing Crisis.

Jim deep dives into the housing crisis in America:
- Our housing crisis and explains how it's the result of a long history of government policies, court cases, and political manipulation.
- While these disparate causes make up a tangled web, they have one surprising root: the attack on private property rights. For more than a century, government policies and court decisions have attacked, undermined, and eroded private property rights.
- Whether it be exclusionary zoning, eminent domain abuse, rent control, or excessive environmental regulations, the cumulative impact of these assaults on private property is that it’s become increasingly difficult—or even impossible—to build adequate housing supplies to meet market demands.
