Jim Burling

Jim Burling, the author of "Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America's Housing Crisis," dives into the intricate history of government control over housing in the U.S. He discusses how restrictive regulations shape land use and erode personal freedoms, often manifesting in absurd rules like prohibiting backyard chickens. Burling also tackles the impact of discriminatory zoning laws on minority communities, the urgent need for reforms in California’s housing crisis, and the ongoing tensions between state and local governments in addressing housing shortages.
