Government Land Policy & YIMBY together for Affordable Housing




Doublewide Dudes show

Summary: This week, we chat with Anthony Flint of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.<br>We discuss how government land policies can artificially restrict land usage limiting<br>density and therefore leading to artificial inflation of land values. Not only does it lead<br>to skyrocketing housing costs, but a smaller tax base, underutilization of space, and<br>greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.<br>We also talk a bit about the YIMBY (Yes, In My Back Yard) movement, and how it<br>takes concerned citizens to help shape government policy. Is there too much<br>government interference? Mr. Flint has an interesting insight into that as well.<br>For more information about land policy, you can visit the Lincoln Institute for Land<br>Policy here: <a href="https://www.lincolninst.edu/" rel="noopener">https://www.lincolninst.edu/</a><br><br>You can listen to the Land Matters Podcast on their website: <a href="https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/articles/land-matters-podcast" rel="noopener">https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/articles/land-matters-podcast</a><br>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/land-matters/id1464810062" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/land-matters/id1464810062</a><br>Google Play: <a href="https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Inzxzcd3r34344a2otvjfbnogxu" rel="noopener">https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Inzxzcd3r34344a2otvjfbnogxu</a><br>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7kBKQ8nvA2GkU2kfdctEln" rel="noopener">https://open.spotify.com/show/7kBKQ8nvA2GkU2kfdctEln</a><br>Stitcher: <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/lincoln-institute-of-land-policy/land-matters?refid=stpr" rel="noopener">https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/lincoln-institute-of-land-policy/land-matters?refid=stpr</a><br>Or wherever you listen to podcasts.<br><br>Feel free to learn more about Anthony Flint here: <a href="https://www.lincolninst.edu/about-lincoln-institute/people/anthony-flint" rel="noopener">https://www.lincolninst.edu/about-lincoln-institute/people/anthony-flint</a>
