How zoning can restrict, or even prevent, affordable housing




PBS NewsHour - Segments show

Summary: In this next installment of our series, "Roads to Recovery," Christopher Booker reports on efforts to reform Connecticut's land use laws, and the complicated mix of history, politics, and racial dynamics that impact who gets to live where. Advocates say restrictive land-use laws have led to inequality and a lack of affordable housing, while some local officials worry about losing a say over what can be built and where. This segment is part of the initiative, Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
