It's sadly not a very sexy issue, but there are few ways to clearly have a large impact on US well-being than reforming land-use regulations. Several European countries have similar problems. Unfortunately implementing the solution is a political nightmare.
GiveWell, a meta-charity working to isolate the most improvement in the world you can create per dollar spent, has a nice overview of land-use reform and its political challenges: http://www.givewell.org/labs/causes/land-use-reform http://www.givewell.org/labs/causes/land-use-reform
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoAwesome to see GiveWell getting into political advocacy in precisely so high-impact and yet low-attention a cause! Land reform is also now an especially vital issue since present-day economic trends have pushed a re-urbanization of the population after the suburbanization of the post-WW2 era.
