Mark and Dr. Joe delve into the complexities of the housing crisis, discussing the social and biological implications of housing, the impact of zoning laws, and the challenges posed by NIMBYism. They explore innovative solutions such as accessory dwelling units and the potential for repurposing office buildings into residential spaces. The conversation emphasizes the need to reframe perceptions of affordable housing and the importance of community involvement in addressing these issues. This episode was originally heard on Me & Dr. Joe Takeaways Housing is a fundamental need, essential for safety and community. Zoning laws significantly impact housing density and availability. NIMBYism can reflect a fear of change and loss of community identity. Innovative housing solutions can include repurposing existing structures. Affordable housing should be reframed to include essential community workers. Community engagement is crucial in addressing housing challenges. The biological response to housing changes can trigger resistance. Understanding the social domain can help mitigate housing issues. Legislation can mandate changes in housing policy for community benefit. Collaboration and open dialogue are key to finding housing solutions.

“Homeownership is the American Dream.” This saying is so ingrained in our zeitgeist that most Americans don't even pause to question it. However, according to the Black Knights Home Price Index, the average US home price increased nearly 80% from April 2015 to April 2023. Census data reveals that the median household income only increased by 4% during this period. Homeownership has thus become increasingly out of reach, especially for young professionals. So, how did the American Dream become an American nightmare?In his brand new book, “Stuck: How the Privileged in the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity,” The Atlantic's Deputy Editor Yoni Appelbaum offers a contrarian view, arguing that the crisis in American homeownership isn't actually about cost—it's about mobility. There are many places in America where housing remains affordable and even dirt cheap. The problem is that those affordable options are in less desirable locations, with fewer opportunities for high-quality jobs, education, and health care. Thus, young professionals continue to migrate to communities where opportunities are bountiful, but housing is not.Appelbaum joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss how Americans got “stuck.” Why does mobility matter so much? What are the implications of reduced mobility for Americans' faith in capitalism and the belief that our country is still the land of opportunity? If treating a home as an investment—which many of us do—means less mobility, is being “stuck” so wrong for society? Together, the three of them unpack this entangled question of mobility, homeownership, and what it means for the reformulation of the American Dream.Capitalisn't episodes mentioned:Shattering Immigration Myths: Data Beyond Borders, with Leah BoustanRaj Chetty's Surprising New Insights on How Children SucceedWhat Happened to the American Dream?

Stanford Law's Daniel Ho and computer science/law student Mirac Suzgun discuss the enduring impact of racially restrictive covenants in real estate with host Rich Ford. Though unenforceable since 1948, these clauses are a lingering reminder of housing segregation and racism in the United States, as Professor Ho's own experience of discovering a covenant barring Asians from purchasing his home highlights. The conversation also looks at legislative efforts to remove the covenants and an innovative AI tool developed by Stanford's RegLab that helps counties identify and redact these covenants, streamlining the process while preserving the historical record.Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Dan Ho  >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford's RegLab >>> Stanford Page(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introduction to Racial Covenants and AB 1466Host Rich Ford introduces the episode, guests Professor Dan Ho and SLS student Mirac Suzgun, and the topic of racial covenants in real estate. They discuss the persistence of racially restrictive covenants, despite being declared unenforceable by the Supreme Court in Shelley v. Kramer (1948), and highlight California's AB 1466 law, which aims to address the issue.(00:04:00) Chapter 2: The Role of AI in Redacting Racial CovenantsDan Ho explains how Santa Clara County faced the challenge of identifying and redacting racial covenants from millions of historical deed records. The conversation shifts to the AI tool developed by Stanford's RegLab, which automates the identification of racially discriminatory language in property documents. Mirac Suzgun elaborates on the stages of the AI tool, including OCR and machine learning, to help counties meet their legal obligations.(00:10:01) Chapter 3: Historical Context and Persistence of Racial CovenantsRich Ford and Dan Ho delve into the history of racial covenants, explaining their rise after the Buchanan decision (1917) and their persistence even after the Shelley v. Kramer ruling. They discuss how these covenants, though unenforceable, served as a community signaling function, reinforcing housing segregation for decades.(00:16:13) Chapter 4: The Legacy of Racial CovenantsRich Ford and Mirac Suzgun discuss the evolution of state-sponsored race segregation and the role of private covenants in perpetuating housing discrimination. They emphasize how these covenants, often embedded in property deeds, remain binding on homeowners, illustrating the historical entrenchment of racial segregation in real estate.(00:18:48) Chapter 5: Uncovering Historical Data and ResponsibilityDan Ho shares findings from a study revealing the prevalence of racial covenants in Santa Clara County. The discussion highlights the significant responsibility of a small number of developers in enforcing these covenants, contrasting this with the example of Joseph Eichler, who resisted such practices and promoted housing reform.(00:23:11) Chapter 6: Utilizing Technology for Social JusticeThe conversation shifts to the innovative tools developed to identify and address racial covenants in property records. The hosts explore the implications of these discoveries for understanding historical injustices and the importance of retaining historical records while advocating for modern social justice initiatives, plus closing remarks.

In this episode I sit down with Daniel Herriges, the new Policy Director for Parking Reform, and co-author of The Housing Trap, a book he wrote alongside Strong Towns' Chuck Marohn. We delve into the complex issue of housing affordability, discussing how it goes far beyond the usual culprits of capitalism or zoning. Daniel provides great insights into the financial, legal, and cultural forces that have shaped our current housing crisis. We discuss how housing has become a financial product intertwined with national economic stability, and explore how the suburban experiment, government mortgage programs, and zoning laws have locked many communities into unsustainable patterns of development. Daniel also shared a compelling vision for moving forward, advocating for more incremental and local solutions that empower individuals to take small steps towards improving their communities. TAKEAWAYS 1. Housing Affordability is Complex: The housing crisis can't be blamed solely on capitalism or zoning—it's the result of a mix of financial, legal, and cultural factors that have developed over decades. 2. Housing as a Financial Product: Housing in the U.S. has evolved into a financial asset tied to the national economy, creating a system where prices must remain high to avoid financial collapse, even if that means homes are unaffordable. 3. The Suburban Experiment's Impact: Post-WWII suburban development, backed by government mortgage policies, has locked us into a system where housing is separated by strict zoning laws, limiting organic neighborhood growth and adaptability. 4. Zoning Laws as a Barrier: Outdated zoning regulations make it nearly impossible to build affordable housing in many desirable areas, restricting supply and pushing up prices. 5. The Need for Incremental Development: Instead of massive top-down solutions, Daniel advocates for smaller, local infill projects like backyard cottages or duplexes that can quickly and affordably add housing in existing neighborhoods. 6. Cultural Shift is Key: Beyond policy changes, there must be a cultural shift where communities accept neighborhood evolution and recognize the value in incremental, human-scale development over rigid, large-scale planning.

Binghamton Zoning Laws by WSKG News

Summary of Chapter 6: Land Use Controls and Regulation. Land use controls and regulations are vital tools used by governments and private parties to manage how land is developed, maintained, and used. These regulations ensure the harmonious coexistence of various land uses, promote public welfare, and protect environmental and community interests. This chapter covers key aspects of land use controls, including zoning laws, eminent domain, environmental regulations, and private land use agreements. Zoning Laws and Ordinances. Purpose: Zoning laws are established to separate different land uses, such as residential, commercial, and industrial areas, to promote organized and sustainable urban development. Types of Zoning: Includes residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, mixed-use, and special-purpose zoning, each with specific rules and regulations. Legal Challenges: Issues such as nonconforming uses, variances, spot zoning, and exclusionary zoning often arise, requiring legal scrutiny and resolution. Eminent Domain and Takings. Eminent Domain: The government's power to take private property for public use, with just compensation to the owner, for projects like infrastructure, parks, or utilities. Takings: Occurs when government regulations limit property use so significantly that they constitute a "taking" under the Fifth Amendment, requiring compensation. Legal Cases: Key legal cases, such as Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. and Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, have shaped the interpretation and application of eminent domain and regulatory takings. Environmental Regulations. Federal and State Laws: Environmental regulations, including the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, are designed to protect natural resources and public health by controlling pollution and managing land use impacts. Environmental Impact Assessments: These assessments evaluate potential environmental effects of proposed projects and are essential for informed decision-making. Legal Challenges: Compliance with environmental regulations often leads to legal disputes between property owners, developers, and regulatory agencies. Private Land Use Controls. Easements: Legal rights that allow specific use of another's land, such as access or utility placement, which can be appurtenant, in gross, prescriptive, or express. Covenants and Equitable Servitudes: Private agreements that impose restrictions or obligations on land use to maintain community standards and property values. Legal Considerations: Disputes can arise over the interpretation and enforcement of these private controls, with courts considering factors like intent, notice, and changed circumstances. Conclusion. Land use controls and regulations are critical for achieving balanced, sustainable development that respects both private property rights and public interests. By understanding zoning laws, eminent domain, environmental regulations, and private land use controls, individuals and communities can navigate complex land use challenges effectively. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Ethan Blevins, a legal fellow with the Pacific Legal Foundation, discusses the negative impact of President Biden's rent control proposal on the housing market. He explains that rent control creates artificial shortages, drives landlords out of the market, discourages investment, and distorts the market in negative ways. Blevins also highlights the failures of rent control in cities like New York City and San Francisco. He suggests that the federal government can help alleviate the housing crisis by reforming zoning laws, reducing minimum lot sizes, and streamlining the permitting process.

In this engaging and informative video, Dan and Ryan from the Vancouver Life Real Estate Group welcome back Bill Laidler, a multifamily developer with over 500 doors under construction, to discuss the transformative Small Scale Multi-Unit Housing Initiative, also known as the Multiplex Plan. Bill, a pioneer in this initiative, shares his extensive expertise on how each municipality in BC is adopting the legislation and reveals which ones might be holding back. Bill's previous video on this topic is the most watched of all time on this channel, proving the massive interest in this game-changing legislation.Bill Laidler dives into the current status of the Multiplex Plan implementation across various cities, highlighting the loopholes some municipalities are exploiting and those fully embracing the new zoning laws. He provides valuable insights into how the family-oriented housing crisis in Metro Vancouver can be addressed through this initiative, aiming to provide more homes with front doors, backyards, and three bedrooms, allowing local families to stay in their communities.The conversation shifts to why developers and builders are moving away from single-family homes towards multiplex developments. Bill explains how this transition reduces sale prices and opens the market to local purchasers who can afford homes in the $1 million to $1.5 million range. He also discusses the significant costs and city fees associated with development, including potential million-dollar expenses for city fees and offsite upgrades, and how these impact land values and project feasibility.Bill explores whether the current four to six-unit limit is sufficient to meet the growing demand for housing in Vancouver andl debate if more substantial changes are needed, such as increasing the unit limit or focusing on family-sized homes. Bill also breaks down the complexities of property tax implications for homeowners with properties in transit-oriented areas (TOAs) and explains what homeowners can expect in the coming years.Bill teases an upcoming event with the Mayor of Burnaby, offering an in-depth look at the city's adoption of the multiplex zoning laws. This event is an excellent opportunity for those eager to learn more about the new regulations and their potential impacts. For those looking to dive deeper, Bill offers additional resources and programs, including a six-week intensive course designed for homeowners, realtors, investors, and developers to understand everything about development potential in the multiplex space, from acquisition to feasibility studies and equity raising.Join us for an in-depth discussion on the future of housing in BC, packed with expert insights and practical advice to help you navigate this new landscape.

Land use rights and zoning are critical components of property law and play a vital role in shaping the built environment. Land use rights define the permissible uses of a particular piece of land, while zoning regulations determine the specific types of development that are allowed in different areas. These regulations are designed to promote orderly development, protect the environment, and preserve the character of communities. Easements, Licenses, and Profits Easements, licenses, and profits are three types of legal interests in land that grant limited rights to use or benefit from the property of another. Easements are typically created to allow access to a particular piece of land, such as a driveway or utility line. Licenses are temporary permissions to use land for a specific purpose, such as a construction project or a special event. Profits are interests in land that allow the holder to extract resources from the property, such as minerals or timber. Covenants and Servitudes Covenants and servitudes are restrictions on the use of land that are created by agreement between landowners. Covenants are typically imposed by developers or homeowners' associations to maintain the uniformity and aesthetic appeal of a community. Servitudes are similar to easements, but they are created to benefit a specific piece of land rather than a person or entity. Zoning Laws and Regulations Zoning laws and regulations are enacted by local governments to control the use of land within their jurisdictions. These regulations typically divide a community into different zones, each with its own set of permitted uses. Zoning laws are designed to promote public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring that development is compatible with the surrounding area. Land Use Planning and Community Development Land use planning and community development are processes that involve the creation of comprehensive plans for the future development of a community. These plans typically include goals and objectives for land use, transportation, housing, and other aspects of community life. Land use planning and community development are important tools for promoting sustainable growth and improving the quality of life for residents. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

By incorporating provisions for higher-density housing and infill developments, municipalities can cultivate a more inclusive housing market.

Understanding Real Covenants and Equitable Servitudes. Real covenants and equitable servitudes are legal mechanisms that shape the use of land and create enforceable obligations for property owners. Real Covenants. A real covenant is a contractual agreement between property owners that imposes certain obligations or restrictions related to land use. These covenants are typically found in deeds or other written agreements. Enforceability. For a real covenant to be enforceable, it must meet certain criteria, including a writing requirement, intent to bind successors, and touch and concern the land. Courts carefully examine these elements to determine the covenant's validity. Equitable Servitudes. Equitable servitudes are similar to real covenants but are based on principles of fairness and equity. These servitudes arise when a property owner, through a written agreement or a pattern of conduct, creates an obligation that runs with the land. Enforcement. Equitable servitudes are enforced in equity, meaning that a court can issue an injunction to prevent a violation of the servitude. This legal mechanism allows for the protection of property interests and the preservation of neighborhood aesthetics. Case Study: The Miller Subdivision. In the Miller Subdivision case, homeowners in a residential subdivision had a real covenant prohibiting the construction of fences over a certain height. One homeowner, Mr. Thompson, erected a fence exceeding the agreed-upon limit. The court, in its decision, analyzed the enforceability of the real covenant and the impact on property values and neighborhood aesthetics. Land Use Planning and Zoning Laws. Real covenants and equitable servitudes intersect with land use planning and zoning laws. Zoning regulations, established by local governments, dictate how land can be used and developed within a specific area. Case Study: The City of Greenwood Zoning Dispute. In the Greenwood case, a property owner sought to challenge a zoning restriction limiting the height of structures. This scenario provides insights into how zoning laws and real covenants may conflict, raising questions about property rights and community interests. Practical Considerations for Property Owners. Understanding real covenants and equitable servitudes is crucial for property owners and developers. Whether you're planning a new development or navigating existing agreements, a deep grasp of these legal mechanisms is essential. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Durham, North Carolina, is experiencing a hot debate over changing its zoning code. The proposed “Simplifying Codes for Affordable Development” (or SCAD) presents tactical adjustments that focus on loosening the current rules so local people can make small-scale changes to their neighborhood. The changes would eliminate parking mandates, legalize smaller homes on smaller lots, and permit mixed-use development. In this Upzoned episode, host Abby Newsham talks to Aaron Lubeck, who's been closely involved in developing SCAD, about the proposed changes. They discuss why SCAD is such a controversial topic, and if it's different from other reforms.  ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES “Op-Ed: The Purpose of Zoning is to Prevent Affordable Housing" by Bob Chapman, Indy Week (March 2023).

The Morning Crew discusses zoning laws, free markets, and Christianity. 

This week, we're exploring the rise of the single-family home and its many pitfalls, including the isolation brought on by large homes on expansive plots of land, exclusionary zoning that exacerbates social issues, and environmental factors like resource-intensive turf grass, massive energy usage for few people, and the necessity of cars. Luckily, however, new trends in housing are reshaping the way we live - from co-living spaces with shared utilities, resources, and perks to chic tiny homes to eco-conscious villages like Serenbe that encourage community, wellness, and biophilia. Our guest is Diana Lind, author of ‘Brave New Home', which investigates how the single-family home became synonymous with the American Dream before delving into the paradigm shifts making housing more accessible and environmentally aware. Diana is a writer and urban policy specialist whose writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Architectural Record and Next City, where she also served as Executive Director and Editor in Chief. Currently, she is the incoming Communications & Publications Director for the Penn Institute for Urban Research. Show NotesBrave New Home: Our Future in Smarter, Simpler, Happier Housing by Diana LindAbout Diana LindAgainst the White Picket Fence (New York Times)WATCH: Five Things Diana Lind taught us about housing (Philadelphia Citizen) Ideas We Should Steal: Treat Homelessness as a Health Issue by Diana Lind (The Philadelphia Citizen)Key Words: Urban Policy, Urban Planning, Housing, Housing Crisis, Biophilia, Biophilic Design, Wellness, Health, Zoning Laws, Suburban, Suburbia, Tiny Home, Environment, Climate Change, Climate Policy
