The Morality of Capitalism Despite the enormous success of American capitalism at producing material abundance and political freedom, critics continue their assault on the system, calling it immoral.

The Planning Penalty

How Smart Growth Makes Housing Unaffordable

Smart growth and other land-use restrictions cost U.S. homebuyers at least $275 billion in 2005. This conclusion is based on several measures of housing affordability in more than 300 metropolitan areas. The 48-page report finds that high housing prices are almost always due to government planning rules that prevent homebuilders from meeting the demand for new homes. Such rules cause prices to increase much faster than incomes, which quickly makes housing unaffordable.

O’Toole has held fellowships at Yale University, and served as a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley and Utah State University.

One of Mr. O’Toole’s favorite charities is American Dream Coalition. The American Dream Coalition’s mission is to support citizens and organizations that promote the American Dream of freedom, mobility, and affordable homeownership.
