Since the recent financial crisis, many pundits have argued that the future of homeownership is in doubt. Not so, says Randal O’Toole, whose new book, American Nightmare: How Government Undermines the Dream of Homeownership, shows that both the crisis in homeownership and the larger financial crisis have their roots in heavy-handed state and local land-use regulation. Ending that regulation and creating a true free market in housing should boost American homeownership rates to as high as 75 percent. Join the author and a distinguished panel of experts in what promises to be a compelling discussion of this new book and our nation’s housing markets.
