Subtitle: Breaking the Circle of Blame in Housing Policy
Author: Roger Lewis
Core Thesis
The book argues that the affordable housing crisis stems from systemic design flaws, not market failure. Through 10 evidence-based pathways, it demonstrates how communities can reclaim housing from financialization and transform it into equitable infrastructure.
Key Themes & Pathways
- Regulatory Reform Revolution
- Problem: Zoning laws, NIMBYism ("Not In My Backyard"), and bureaucratic barriers block affordable development (HUD, 1991).
- Solution: State-led overrides of exclusionary local policies (e.g., California's RHNA quotas).
- Decommodification Models
- Community Land Trusts (CLTs): Remove land from speculation.
- Public Credit Systems: Replicate North Dakota's state bank to fund housing without predatory debt.
- Climate-Policy Integration
- Problem: "Green" regulations inflate costs without addressing housing shortages (Chapman University, 2024).
- Solution: Pair density bonuses with sustainability mandates (e.g., transit-oriented development).
- University-Community Partnerships
- Case Study: Universities as anchors for equitable development, countering displacement (American Bar Association, 2024).
- Financial Reengineering
- Replace interest-based financing with community-controlled credit, slashing the 77% interest burden (Creutz, 2010).
- Pattern Language Design
- Apply Christopher Alexander's architectural principles for human-centered, livable communities.
- Blockchain Governance
- Transparent, resident-led decision-making for democratic development.
- Carbon-Neutral Affordable Housing
- Integrate renewable energy (solar, biogas) to cut costs via carbon credits.
- Inclusionary Zoning 2.0
- Mandate affordable units in market-rate projects while avoiding supply reduction (CQ Researcher, 2018).
- Disaster-Resilient Communities
- Post-crisis rebuilding models that prioritize equity (e.g., rejecting New Orleans-style "disaster capitalism").
