Reviews
"Fischel's highly readable review of how zoning became such a powerful governor of urban development and his identification of the effects of its ordinances provides the information base for dealing with one of urban America's most important problems. For me personally, it has been a déjà vu moment."--Journal of Regional Science, Volume 56, Number 5, 2016
"Fischel's book is the magnum opus of a life studying zoning laws, and is required reading for anyone who weeks to reform the way our nation regulates private property."--PanAm Post
