Yoni Appelbaum, author of Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity and Deputy Executive Director of The Atlantic, joins The Realignment. Yoni and Marshall discuss the state of the American Dream, the country's sliding reputation as the "land of opportunity" since the 1970s, why Americans are increasingly immobile, the 19th century heyday of moving, the role of zoning laws and new construction restriction in rising housing prices and immobility, and how to help Americans who don't want to leave their communities.
