Podcasts about property rights

The hosts break down the shocking declaration of a “state of emergency” in Los Angeles — not for wildfires or natural disasters, but for enforcing federal immigration law. As ICE raids remove illegal immigrants across L.A., city leaders move to funnel emergency funds into rent relief and eviction protection for those here illegally. What does this mean for landlords, taxpayers, and American sovereignty? The conversation digs deep into the ideological divide between law and lawlessness, the push toward post-American values, and even open calls for the abolition of private property.

Today's question comes from Steve who writes: "How do municipalities allow zoning and use applications that are filed by an entity that doesn't own the property? Can a group of citizens argue that the applicant doesn't have property rights when they don't own the property?"----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

What drives the seeming relentless dynamism of Tokyo? Is there something special about Japanese culture? Joe McReynolds, co-author of Emergent Tokyo, argues that the secret to Tokyo's energy and attractiveness as a place to live and visit comes from policies that allow Tokyo to emerge from the bottom up. Post-war black markets evolved into today's yokocho--dense clusters of micro-venues that turn over, specialize, and innovate nightly--while vertical zakkyo buildings stack dozens of tiny bars, eateries, and shops floor by floor, pulling street life upward. The engine? Friction-light rules: permissive mixed-use zoning, minimal licensing, and no minimum unit sizes let entrepreneurs launch fast and pivot faster. And surrounding this emergent urban landscape there's plenty of new housing with excellent transportation infrastructure to let ever-more people enjoy Tokyo's magic.

In this eye-opening episode of The Informed Citizen, host Philip Lindholm sits down with Jim Henderson, founder of Landlord Solutions and Washington Government Relations, and Caitlyn McKenney, housing policy researcher and writer for FixHomelessness.org, to unpack one of the most divisive issues in America: evictions.Episode OverviewFrom rising rent costs to state-level moratoriums and broken safety nets, Philip, Jim, and Caitlyn explore the complex web of housing policies shaping life across Washington and beyond. Together, they reveal how well-intentioned laws can sometimes backfire - hurting tenants, landlords, and communities alike.Episode Highlights

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 475. This is my guest lecture for Saifedean Ammous's course Principles of Austrian Economics II | ECON104 (recorded May 7, 2020, I believe), also now on Saylor Academy. Transcript and summary and other notes below. KOL441 | The Bitcoin Standard Podcast with Saifedean Ammous: Legal Foundations of a Free Society, Property Rights, Intellectual Property KOL314 | Patents vs. Bitcoin: The Bitcoin Standard Podcast (Saifedean Ammous) https://youtu.be/02wY_qL0qRU?si=HU40GGg8xu6Wfn3U GROK SUMMARY Summary of Economics 12 Seminar: Intellectual Property Discussion with Stephan Kinsella Introduction to Intellectual Property and Scarcity Timestamp: 0:01 In the ninth discussion seminar of Economics 12, Principles of Economics 2, host Saifedean Ammous introduces guest discussant Stephan Kinsella, who has written extensively on intellectual property (IP) and its justifications. The lecture focuses on Kinsella's paper, which explores the legitimacy of property rights and why IP lacks a coherent basis. Ammous highlights the core issue of scarcity: property rights manage scarce resources, but ideas, being non-scarce, cannot be owned without controlling others' bodies or property, violating individual rights. This is described as a “kill shot” to IP arguments, though other critiques are also explored. Utilitarian and Natural Rights Arguments Against IP Timestamp: 3:07 Stephan Kinsella elaborates on the incoherence of IP, arguing that information is a characteristic of owned resources, not property itself. Claiming ownership over ideas, like owning the “redness” of a ball, would absurdly grant control over others' property. He traces IP's origins to Locke's labor theory of property, which confuses action with ownership, leading to flawed justifications by Ayn Rand and others. Kinsella critiques the utilitarian argument that IP stimulates innovation, noting the U.S. Constitution's temporary monopoly grants were based on unproven assumptions. He argues that 200 years of data fail to show IP's net benefit, with studies suggesting it distorts or depresses innovation. Empirical Weaknesses and Market Failures Timestamp: 7:44 Kinsella challenges the empirical case for IP, pointing out that proponents assume a market failure in innovation without government intervention. However, studies are inconclusive or show patents hinder innovation, costing billions annually in the U.S. alone. He criticizes reports like the Commerce Department's, which claim IP-intensive industries drive GDP, for mistaking correlation with causation. Ammous adds that academic theoretical models often support IP without empirical backing, relying on simulated universes to justify claims of increased innovation, further highlighting the lack of real-world evidence. Alternative Business Models Without IP Timestamp: 19:13 Ammous argues that the assumption IP is essential for creators' income reflects limited imagination. Musicians, for instance, earn most of their income from concerts and sponsorships, not record sales, as seen with artists from local bands to superstars like Madonna. Platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube allow free music distribution, boosting popularity and concert attendance, as evidenced by Iron Maiden's use of BitTorrent data for tour planning. Authors can profit from physical books, courses, or speaking engagements. Without IP, lower legal costs would reduce prices, benefiting consumers and producers, with first-mover advantages and reputation sufficing for profitability. Trade Secrets and Regulatory Impacts Timestamp: 27:44 Kinsella discusses trade secrets as an alternative to patents, noting that patent law encourages disclosure over secrecy, undermining natural market advantages. The FDA's regulatory system exacerbates this by requiring public disclosure during drug approval, negating trade secret benefits and justifying patents. He argues that removing both systems would allow trade secre...

In this conversation, economist Dr. Victoria Bateman discusses the critical role of women in shaping economic prosperity throughout history. She argues that women's choices, independence, and labor have been overlooked in traditional economic narratives. The discussion covers various themes, including the impact of women's marriage decisions on population control, the relationship between women's independence and technological advancements, and the historical marginalization of women in economic history. Bateman emphasizes the importance of recognizing women's contributions to economic growth and the need for policies that support women's rights and independence.Takeaways Women's choices have historically shaped economic prosperity. Independence in marriage decisions leads to smaller families and economic stability. Women's labor is crucial for technological advancements and economic growth. Democracy is sustained by empowering women and encouraging their participation. The historical narrative often overlooks women's contributions to the economy. Property rights for women are essential for their economic independence. The blend of market and state influences leads to successful societies. The cult of female modesty restricts women's economic participation.Chapters 00:00 The Hidden Role of Women in Economic History 08:03 Impact of Women's Economic Freedom on Society 14:41 Democracy and Women's Independence 21:31 The Gender Gap in Economics 27:50 Household Dynamics and Unpaid Labor 35:03 Property Rights and Women's Economic Roles 38:24 Empowering Women: The Role of Economic Freedom 42:11 The Interplay of Markets and States 44:43 The Cult of Female Modesty: Historical Context 55:58 Modern Parallels: Women's Freedom and Economic Prosperity 59:24 Lessons from History: Women as Economic Drivers 01:04:04 Revisiting Historical Narratives 01:04:29 Conclusion and Call to ActionFollow Dr. Victoria Bateman on Twitter, BlueSky, Instagram, Website, and find her new book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the Fifth Amendment, focusing on the due process protections and the takings clause. It explores the historical context of these legal principles, key cases that have shaped their interpretation, and the distinctions between procedural and substantive due process. The discussion delves into regulatory takings, categorical takings, and the Penn Central test, providing insights into how courts analyze these issues. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of temporary takings and exactions, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation and the evolving challenges in environmental law.The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution is a cornerstone of American legal principles, safeguarding individual rights against government overreach. Among its provisions, the Takings Clause stands out as a critical element, ensuring that private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation. This blog post explores the intricacies of the Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause, shedding light on their significance and impact on property rights.Understanding the Fifth Amendment: The Fifth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights and provides several protections for individuals, including the right to due process, protection against double jeopardy, and the right against self-incrimination. However, one of its most debated components is the Takings Clause, which addresses the balance between public needs and private property rights.The Takings Clause Explained: The Takings Clause states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." This clause ensures that when the government needs to acquire private property for public purposes, such as building infrastructure or public facilities, it must provide fair compensation to the property owner. The clause raises important questions about what constitutes "public use" and how "just compensation" is determined.Key Court Cases and Interpretations: Over the years, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Takings Clause in various landmark cases. One notable case is Kelo v. City of New London (2005), where the Court ruled that economic development can be considered a public use under the Takings Clause. This decision sparked widespread debate and led to legislative changes in several states to protect property owners.The Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause play a vital role in balancing the interests of the public and private property owners. As legal interpretations evolve, these provisions continue to shape the landscape of property rights in the United States. Understanding their implications is crucial for anyone interested in constitutional law and property rights.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest developments in constitutional law and property rights by subscribing.

Navigating the complexities of property law can be daunting, especially when it comes to future interests. Imagine inheriting a piece of land, only to find out that your ownership is contingent upon certain conditions. This is where understanding future interests becomes crucial.Exploring Future Interests: Future interests in property law refer to the legal rights to property ownership that will begin in the future, rather than immediately. These interests can be created through wills, trusts, or deeds, and they often involve conditions that must be met for the interest to become possessory.Types of Future Interests:Reversion: This occurs when the original owner retains the right to regain possession of the property after a temporary estate ends. Remainder: This is a future interest given to a third party, which becomes possessory when a life estate or term of years ends. Executory Interest: This is a future interest that cuts short a preceding estate before it would naturally terminate.Why It Matters: Understanding future interests is essential for estate planning and property transactions. It ensures that property is distributed according to the owner's wishes and can prevent legal disputes among heirs or beneficiaries.Future interests in property law are a vital component of estate planning and property management. By grasping these concepts, individuals can make informed decisions about their property and ensure their legacy is preserved.TakeawaysFuture interests can feel overwhelming for law students.Understanding property as a bundle of sticks is crucial.Future interests are not just hopes; they are legal rights.Reversions are vested and automatically return to the grantor.Possibility of reverter leads to automatic termination of the estate.Right of entry requires affirmative action to terminate the estate.Remainders wait for the prior estate to end naturally.Executory interests cut short prior interests and are disruptive.The rule against perpetuities prevents indefinite control over property.Understanding these concepts is essential for effective estate planning.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest in property law and estate planning by subscribing.Property Law, Future Interests, Reversions, Remainders, Rule Against Perpetuities, Legal Education, Law Students, Property Rights, Estate Planning, Legal Concepts

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Ret. MN Supreme Court Justice Barry Anderson interview Prof. Keith Hylton, William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor and Professor of Law at Boston University. Prof. Hylton shares insights from his academic career and the book Laws of Creation: Property Rights in the World of Ideas, which he co-authored. The discussion explores how Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke and Adam Smith helped shape the legal framework for property rights and the free market in the U.S., and how these ideas are central to understanding our modern economy. Prof. Hylton explains the constitutional foundations of American intellectual property (IP) law, Thomas Jefferson's role in establishing the U.S. Patent Office, and how historic inventors like Thomas Edison exemplify American experimentation, innovation, and economic dynamism.  He also covers trade secrets, copyright law, and the tension between protecting inventors' individual patent rights and today's calls for free access to copyrighted online content. Hylton addresses global challenges, including cyber theft and piracy, and reflects on key legal cases that define international IP enforcement. Prof. Hylton also shares three major takeaways he hopes high school and undergraduate students will understand about the importance of intellectual property rights in sustaining American rule of law, innovation, and economic growth. He concludes with a reading from his book, Laws of Creation: Property Rights in the World of Ideas.

Are California lawmakers chipping away at your property rights? In this seminar, we break down two major changes impacting homeowners, HOAs, and landlords statewide. Learn what California Assembly Bill 130 means for HOA enforcement and how AB 1620 could force landlords to rent renovated units at legacy rates. If you're a homeowner, HOA board member, property manager, or landlord, this is a must-watch. What we cover: AB 130 (effective July 1, 2025): HOAs are now capped at $100 for most fines tied to CC&Rs, with no late fees or interest allowed. The only exception is for documented, immediate health or safety risks. We'll explain what qualifies, why HOAs must comply immediately, and what policy updates are required across California's 50,000 HOAs. We'll also discuss practical implications like “18-wheeler screens” and “boat screens” and how enforcement changes under the new cap. AB 1620: A tenant with permanent mobility disabilities can move to a comparable or smaller unit in the same building without losing their rent level. We'll walk through a real-world scenario: a landlord renovates a first-floor unit, only to be required to offer it at the prior (lower) rent. We'll outline who's covered, what “comparable” means, and the financial risks for owners planning upgrades.

The hackneyed argument for government regulation of speech -- yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater -- has always been a red herring. As Murray Rothbard wrote, private property rights should be front-and-center when dealing with free speech issues.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/you-cant-yell-chicken-jockey-crowded-theater-except-when-you-can

How do we define liberty? Hayek saw it as the absence of most (but not all) coercion, but that depends upon how one defines “coercion.” Murray Rothbard believed that Hayek was too willing to accept forms of coercion that were anti-freedom.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/meaning-coercion-hayekian-philosophy

"Thanks to Bitcoin anyone can use the asymmetric defenses of cryptography to their economic advantage. A symmetry is at the heart of Bitcoin security. Hard to guess. Easy to verify. Cooperation is rewarded. Conflict is not. Your keys are private. The ledger is public. Defense is cheap. Disruption is incredibly costly.It is the asymmetry and cost that gives rise to the crypto economical game theory of Bitcoin. Peaceful and voluntary cooperation. Mutually assured preservation. Sovereignty through cryptography."~ Dergigi Bitcoin is more than software - it's a living, endless game of words, math, and values.

Daniella Bassi tells the remarkable story of the Arctic fur trade as a real-world case study in stateless order. In early 20th-century northern Canada, Inuit and European traders conducted peaceful, prosperous exchange, without government law or enforcement, guided instead by mutual respect, property rights, and natural law.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 26, 2025.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

Jon Hartley and Richard Epstein discuss Richard's career as a legal scholar, the takings clause, state monopoly power, Richard's property-driven theory of constitutional interpretation (how it contrasts with the originalism of Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork as well as living constitution theories), the Coase theorem, and classical liberalism versus anarcho-capitalism. Recorded on July 16, 2025. ABOUT THE SERIES Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy. The podcast is titled after Milton Friedman‘s famous 1962 bestselling book Capitalism and Freedom, which after 60 years, remains prescient from its focus on various topics which are now at the forefront of economic debates, such as monetary policy and inflation, fiscal policy, occupational licensing, education vouchers, income share agreements, the distribution of income, and negative income taxes, among many other topics.

The word "democratic" is supposed to soften the blow of socialism, with Zohran Mamdani's campaign being the latest to fool the voters. In reality, there is no softening real socialism, as it depends upon coercion, violence, and ultimately becomes totalitarian.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/democratic-socialism-totalitarianism

Marc and former State Senator John Lamping analyze recent Missouri legislation signed by Governor Kehoe, focusing on the economic and political impacts. They discuss the contentious stadium funding bill benefiting the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, highlighting how the St. Louis Cardinals stand to gain hundreds of millions for stadium upgrades despite sitting out the negotiations. Lamping shares his candid view on the Chiefs and Royals potentially moving to Kansas and expresses indifference toward the Royals. They also cover Kehoe's surprising mix of consensus-driven politics—supporting both school choice and increased public school funding—and recent laws such as the K-12 cell phone ban and free in-state college tuition for first responders' kids. The conversation critiques government expansion masked as incentives, stresses the importance of property rights, and warns of looming fiscal constraints due to Medicaid funding changes. The segment closes with a nod to Ethan's contribution to the show's new intro music.

Ten percent of NYC voters choose a socialist with anti-Semitic views as the official Democratic Party's NYC mayoral candidate for the November 2025 election. Rise of Socialism in America | Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist embracing radical views which undermine the U.S. Constitution would be the first Muslim to lead the nation's largest city if elected. His chants for a "free Palestine" and the public call to "Globalize the Intifada" - a slogan used by pro-Palestinian activists to call for widespread violence against Jews and Israel has raised serious concerns from within New York and around the country. Focusing on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it carries out its responsibilities in arresting illegal immigrants involved in criminality. On the efforts of ICE within Virginia: “We are now through over 2,000 arrests as part of the Virginia Homeland Security Task Force. It's working, and most importantly, we're getting really tough bad guys off the street.” - Governor Glen Youngkin, Virginia In addition to the conversation on US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites authorized by President Trump and the reaction by Democrat leaders on the Hill, Tom Garrett also highlights the challenges we face within America as New York City's democrat voters elect a staunch socialist as its candidate for this November's mayoral election. Tom Garrett is a US Army veteran and served in locations including the perilous Balkan region during the 1990s right after the Dayton Peace Accords were signed. He served as Assistant Attorney General, Commonwealth of Virginia.
