Housing Discussion Group

02/08/2026

We are excited to continue our discussion of Escaping the Housing Trap with Chapter 2: Building the Trap. This chapter describes traditional building patterns and starts to explore the regulatory and financial history that has caused the United States to move away from those patterns.

Prior reading is encouraged but not necessary. Please join us even if you do not complete the reading. If you do not have access to a copy of the book, please consider reading these freely available articles instead:

• The Earliest Roots of the Suburban Experiment by Daniel Herriges

• How Fannie Mae Puts a Chokehold on Local Home Financing Solutions by Charles Marohn

The New Haven Free Public Library will soon have a small number of copies available for circulation. We hope you will enjoy them.
