Zoning Rules
An Economics of Land Use Regulation
Book • 1985
"Zoning Rules!
The Economics of Land Use Regulation" by William A. Fischel provides a comprehensive analysis of zoning and land-use regulations in the United States.
Fischel examines the economic consequences of zoning, arguing that it often leads to inefficient land allocation and higher housing prices.
The book explores the historical origins of zoning, tracing its evolution from early attempts to separate industrial and residential areas to more complex and restrictive regulations.
It also discusses the political factors that influence zoning decisions, such as the preferences of homeowners and developers.
Fischel advocates for reforms to zoning laws that would promote greater housing affordability and economic efficiency.
He suggests that market-based approaches, such as impact fees and transferable development rights, can be more effective than traditional zoning regulations.
The book offers valuable insights for policymakers, planners, and anyone interested in understanding the economics of land use.
