Millions of working-class Americans have their opportunity blocked by exclusionary snob zoning. These government policies make housing unaffordable, frustrate the goals of the civil rights movement, and lock in inequality in our urban and suburban landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough moving accounts of families excluded from economic and social opportunity as they are hemmed in through \"new redlining\" that limits the type of housing that can be built, Richard Kahlenberg vividly illustrates why America has a housing crisis. He also illustrates why economic segregation matters since where you live affects access to transportation, employment opportunities, decent health care, and good schools. He shows that housing choice has been socially engineered to the benefit of the affluent, and, astonishingly, that the most restrictive zoning is found in politically liberal cities where racial views are more progressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite this, there is hope. Kahlenberg tells the inspiring stories of a growing number of local and national movements working to tear down the walls that inflict so much damage on the lives of millions of Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExcluded\u003c\/em\u003e by Richard D.
