Rethinking Federal Housing Policy:: How to Make Housing Plentiful and Affordable

By Edward L. Glaeser and Edward L. Gleaser

Book Overview

A timely and eye-opening deep-dive into America's housing affordability crisis, where economist Edward Glaeser and Wharton's Joseph Gyourko dismantle decades of failed federal housing policy, from mortgage interest deductions to low-income housing tax credit programs, and deliver a bold, data-driven blueprint for fixing housing prices, easing supply restrictions, and making homeownership attainable again for the poor and middle class alike.

In Rethinking Federal Housing Policy: How to Make Housing Plentiful and Affordable, Edward L. Glaeser and Joseph Gyourko explain why housing is so expensive in some areas and outline a plan for making it more affordable.
