Richard D. Kahlenberg, author of Excluded: How Snob Zoning, Nimbyism, and Class Bias Build the Walls We Don't See, joins The Realignment. Richard and Marshall discuss whether race or class is a bigger obstacle to success in America, how RFK's cross-racial coalition inspired Richard's work, how exclusionary zoning and NIMBYism lie at the heart of the housing crisis, and his advocacy for class-based affirmative action after the Supreme Court's abolishment of race-based affirmative action.
