Joe Selvaggi of the Pioneer Institute (a Boston-based think tank) recently interviewed me about exclusionary zoning, and my forthcoming Texas Law Review article on that subject (coauthored with Josh Braver of the University of Wisconsin).

The audio and transcript of the podcast are available here.
