Housing Policy Effects

Translator A AI

Summary

Housing Policy Effects examines the significant role of government intervention in housing markets, focusing on the economic effects of zoning, affordable housing programs, and mortgage finance. It argues that while these interventions often aim to improve affordability and access, they can lead to unintended consequences, affecting housing supply and market efficiency. For instance, zoning regulations, intended to manage urban development, can inadvertently restrict housing supply, driving up prices.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with theoretical frameworks and then delving into specific policy interventions. Key chapters evaluate the effectiveness of affordable housing initiatives and analyze the impact of government-sponsored mortgage finance on market stability. The analysis relies heavily on empirical evidence and economic modeling, drawing from academic studies, government reports, and real estate data. This evidence-based approach sets it apart, offering a rigorous assessment of policy effects relevant to policymakers, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of housing markets.

Liberty or Justice for All? - A...

Philip F. Gura

Liberty or Justice for All? brings to life four of America's greatest thinkers, whose dialogue across the ages has never been more relevant. Philip F. Gura begins his nimble tale with Jonathan Edwards, a fiery preacher who insisted that God would reward those who embraced social cooperation. One generation later, the Founding Fathers grounded their own project of civic renewal in rights and freedom. But if every citizen is guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, does this mean America is a nation where the individual reigns supreme? 
 
 
 
America's young democracy soon found its prophet in Ralph Waldo Emerson, who preached a gospel of self-reliance, small government, and self-improvement. But with the coming of the Civil War, Emerson's triumphant individual became a cog in a vast war machine. Radical technological transformations convinced the psychologist-turned-philosopher William James that the self was more fragmented and fragile than Emerson believed. He found virtue in pluralism and diversity, seeing selfishness as the cardinal sin. Two world wars and several failed revolutions later, John Rawls, shaken by the divisions of Vietnam, sought to establish a new secular foundation for social cooperation. Over time, we have sought to hold these opposing value systems in delicate balance, promising both liberty and justice for all.

Who Gets to Write Fiction? -...

Ariel Sacks

Writing and sharing fiction allows adolescents to glimpse other lives 
 
 
 
The current curricular emphasis on analytical writing can make it feel risky to teach creative writing in ELA classrooms. But the opportunity to write fiction in school opens many doors for young people: doors the author argues are critical to the development of our students, our education system, and even our democracy. 
 
 
 
This book will delight English teachers weary of focusing relentlessly on argument and information writing. Veteran teacher Ariel Sacks vividly describes the many academic, social–emotional, and community-building advantages of teaching imaginative writing in the classroom, not least of which is the impact it has on equity for marginalized students. Her book is a teacher-to-teacher text that folds in detailed, practical guidance about how to design lessons and meet standards, while presenting a powerful central argument: that the writing of fiction should be treated not as a luxury for some, but as a center of the English curriculum for all students.

Agents of Influence - How the...

Mark Hollingsworth

There's no such thing as a former KGB man. 
 
 
 
Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world. 
 
 
 
More disturbingly, it never stopped. Putin is a KGB man through and through. Journalist Mark Hollingworth reveals how disinformation, kompromat and secret surveillance continue to play key roles in Russia's war with Ukraine. It seems frighteningly easy to destabilize Western democracy.
