" summary

Argues that exclusionary land use rules — large single‑family zones, parking and height limits, minimum lot sizes — materially raise housing costs and reduce filtering. Shows policy details matter: Minneapolis triflex vs Houston lot‑size yields almost no new triplexes but lots of townhouses. Uses New Jersey’s Mount Laurel enforcement as evidence: Mount Laurel: 70k+ affordable homes and 100k market units built, enforcement lapse => prices and rents outpace incomes. Argues inclusionary zoning often raises market prices unless paired with binding subsidies.
