NIMBYs and American Liberalism, conversation with Jacob Anbinder

In this episode, I spoke with Jacob Anbinder. His upcoming book, NIMBY Nation: The War on Growth That Created Our Housing Crisis and Remade American Politics, caught my attention. As a historian of American politics, Jacob has researched the root causes of NIMBYism—an essential topic for those of us working to create housing while facing NIMBY opposition every day. Jacob's research offers a wealth of useful information, but be careful—you'll discover that NIMBYs aren't lying or wrong all the time.
