Review

A readable study of zoning that constructively blends the traditional welfare economics analysis of land use regulation and empirical studies of the effect of zoning and new 'deregulation' proposals with a keen understanding of the social and economic motives of local officials... [T]he most complete, searching, and balanced analysis of the theoretical basis of land use controls ever published. Journal of the American Planning Association

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely recommended, May 14 2012

This review is from: The Economics of Zoning Laws: A Property Rights Approach to American Land Use Controls (Paperback)

The worst part of this book is its title, which while accurate belittles the accomplishments of the author. I found it to be conceptually very clear; it certainly told me things that, despite 5 years experience defining zoning ordinances, I did not know and should have known. I definitely recommend it.
