The past 40 has seen an increase in housing regulation. NIMBYs create restrictive zoning rules. Developers can only build after attending dozens of meetings. City council must grant an exception to the NIMBY laws. Only wealthy developers can afford the process. Various council and board member get kick backs for the exemptions. Housing is an important example because its the most expensive thing most people purchase. Grift is enabled by individuals electing representatives who oppose construction, not capitalism. |
