Since the collapse of the housing market in 2008, demand for
housing has consistently outpaced supply in many US communities.
The failure to construct sufficient housing - especially affordable
housing - in desirable communities and neighborhoods comes with
significant social, economic, and environmental costs. This book
examines how local participatory land use institutions amplify the
power of entrenched interests and privileged homeowners. The book
draws on sweeping data to examine the dominance of land use
politics by 'neighborhood defenders' - individuals who oppose new
housing projects far more strongly than their broader communities
and who are likely to be privileged on a variety of dimensions.
Neighborhood defenders participate disproportionately and take
advantage of land use regulations to restrict the construction of
multifamily housing. The result is diminished housing stock and
higher housing costs, with participatory institutions perversely
reproducing inequality.
