Thomas Sowell argues that government subsidies and open space zoning create artificial housing scarcity in California. He contrasts San Mateo County with Modesto and criticizes efforts to curb development, noting higher costs and “affordable housing” being only tokenized. He warns that bans on land use inflate prices and preserve elite enclaves, urging fewer interventions by politicians and bureaucrats. Sowell is a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution.
