Zoned Out: How Cities and Counties Make Homes Unaffordable (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995868804)

In today's housing market, builders are not allowed to build affordable homes. Why? Because of overly restrictive zoning requirements. In Zoned Out, five-decade industry veteran Jay Knight describes the obstacles America's cities and counties place between homebuilders and homebuyers. Knight shines a light on the subjective zoning requirements that are currently denying so many Americans the ability to own a home. Readers of the book will be puzzled by why these obstacles are allowed to exist but will ultimately find hope as they discover how to fix this broken process. The book closes with an inspiring example of how industry professionals are solving these issues through legislation.
