Product Description
The Gated City (Kindle Single): Ryan Avent: Kindle Store. If you ask people where they'd most like to live, many would name New York City or San Francisco--big cities with the best shows, the best restaurants, the best job prospects, and the highest levels of worker productivity. So why have those cities been losing population to cities with less of everything? With accessible examples and abundant statistics to back up his claims, Ryan Avent--the economics correspondent of The Economist--shows how high housing rates in these cities have driven people away and reduced not only productivity, but also creativity and opportunity. His solution is simple: let more people in by creating more housing, thus lowering housing rates and making them affordable again. He doesn't suggest giving developers free reign in city parks; instead, he advocates innovative changes to zoning laws, and an understanding that adding housing in cities brings with it more benefits than costs. --Malissa Kent
