Ilya Somin: The Constitutional Case Against Exclusionary Zoning - Episode #4

Ilya Somin joins Geoff to discuss the newly published paper, The Constitutional Case Against Exclusionary Zoning, that he co-authored with Joshua Braver. What's the big deal about exclusionary zoning and what does it have to do with the overarching Yeoman theme? Glad you asked! Geoff answered that question in this thread. Professor Somin is a Professor of Law at George Mason University and the B. Kenneth Simon Chair in Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute. His research focuses on constitutional law, property law, democratic theory, federalism, and migration rights.
