>The tax rules associated with large construction projects, plus that fact that large-scale commercial real estate is a cartel in most US markets

Interesting. Do you have any links to contemporary discussions of this issue?

The in-depth Glaeser/Yglesias/Avent discussions I've seen mostly focus on height limits and minimum parking requirements as major problems in urban areas.

WRT the cartel issue, I wonder if efforts like Fundrise: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2012/11/real-... could help.
