Neighborhood Defenders

Participatory Politics and America's Housing Crisis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Neighborhood Defenders reveals how local politics contributes to the current housing crisis - by empowering unrepresentative groups of privileged homeowners to restrict the supply of new housing through participatory housing permitting processes. Their participation exacerbates inequality and reduces new housing in the places that most need it.
