There are three political scientists Katie Einstein David Glick and Maxwell Palmer who've written a book called neighborhood Defenders and a bunch of papers since then which are just a fantastic insight into the nitty-gritty politics.

Bryan Caplan EconTalk · Oct 2024 Why people recommend it
Neighborhood Defenders by Katherine Levine Einstein, David M. Glick, and Maxwell Palmer is an insightful political science book that investigates the nitty-gritty politics of local land use meetings, housing development opposition, and zoning regulations. On The Ezra Klein Show, Jenny Schütz recommended the book during her final recommendation segment, praising it and the authors' subsequent papers for providing fantastic insights into why housing has become so expensive. Later, on EconTalk, Bryan Caplan also discussed the book while examining how local activism and community groups artificially inflate housing costs through prolonged regulatory hurdles. Both commentators highlighted the text as an essential resource for understanding how small groups of local residents successfully block new housing and shape municipal growth policies across the United States.
