On the Housing Crisis: Land, Development, Democracy

I picked this up at Politics & Prose at the Wharf on Tuesday, at an event with the author. This was the first I'd heard or read Demsas' writing. It's good! The event was enjoyable.

The book is a collection of Demsas' writing on housing for The Atlantic. I appreciate the continued focus on housing supply as the critical component to our struggles, especially as relates to homelessness. Our country loves finding scapegoats, but it really is a simple problem: we need more housing. All other considerations are secondary.

There are some parts of the articles I'm not in total alignment with, but these are relatively few. Good collection of articles.
