Urban Planners and Subsidized Housing

Land use and transportation expert Randal O’Toole discusses the explosion of subsidized housing in the Denver Metro area. Most Americans want to live in single family homes, but urban planners are building apartment complexes instead. Urban planners are pushing for “compact cities”, supposedly to save energy. Most citizens are getting taxed extra to pay for subsidized housing. Single family homes are the most affordable type of housing to build. Low income housing subsidies are much more expensive. Urban planners want to get rid of single family zoning laws so that they can push subsidized housing projects into neighborhoods. Similarly, trains are in high demand for construction right now as a means of leeching taxes from everyday people. Listen to the full interview in the second hour.
