Abstract

This essay seeks to make the case that, while the planning process and land use restrictions may have an impact on housing costs and affordability, they are not the main issue. As the volatility of housing prices mostly depends on the balance of supply and demand, it will first discuss how much the planning system could affect housing prices from both the supply and demand sides. Then it will argue that financial deregulation is likely to have more significant impact on housing prices.
