"When I was scheduling out the first few episodes of the Market Urbanism Podcast, it seemed natural to start with one of Market Urbanism’s favorite topics: the relationship between land-use regulation and rising housing costs in American cities. This week I sit down with Emily Hamilton, a regular Market Urbanism contributor and policy manager at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, to discuss a recent paper she coauthored with Sanford Ikeda, “How Land-Use Regulation Undermines Affordable Housing.”
The question I am left pondering: how can we convince homeowners—who have a large vested interest in the current system—to support land-use liberalization?
Feel free to share your thoughts on this and other topics in today’s episode in the comment section below or with Emily and I on Twitter."

Notes from Nolan Gray:
As always, thanks for listening! We have a few exciting interviews lined up for the next two months. Stay tuned for the next episode on September 21st.


ABOUT MARKET URBANISM:
The term “Market Urbanism” refers to the synthesis of classical liberal economics and ethics, with an appreciation of the urban way of life and its benefits to society. We advocate for the emergence of bottom up solutions, as opposed to ones imposed from the top down.

Over the next year, Nolan Gray will be talking to the scholars, writers, activists, and policymakers who are changing the conversation about cities. In biweekly conversations, a guest and Nolan will explore the past, present, and future of cities and the policies that shape them. If you’re totally new to the subject, fear not. He’ll begin conversations with the basics and clarify jargon as we move into a variety of fascinating, if complex, subjects. If you listen to the popular podcast Econtalk, you might have a general idea of what we’m going for. Of course, this won’t just be a one-way conversation. Each week, Nolan will post links and articles related to the conversation on marketurbanism.com/podcast, where you can share your thoughts and give feedback on the show.
. . . you can also tell Nolan how great a job he’s doing on Twitter at @mnolangray. We’ll also make an effort to share guest’s Twitter handle
