Book Synopsis Inclusionary Zoning Policies in California by : Stephanie Lauren Cotter
Download or read book Inclusionary Zoning Policies in California written by Stephanie Lauren Cotter and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides a qualitative examination of the costs and benefits of local inclusionary zoning (IZ) policies in California. Such policies rose in popularity in the 1970s to address the shortage of affordable housing and concentration of poverty in the United States. Recently, local governments in California have weakened or eliminated such regulations. This thesis provides a qualitative assessment of the costs and benefits of IZ policies from the perspective of local government officials to illuminate why cities and counties in California have recently started to reconsider the once popular affordable housing tool. My findings indicate IZ policies impose local costs while generating regional benefits. Thus, I provide two recommendations to strengthen local IZ policies in California. First, I argue local governments should adopt affordable housing development fees. Secondly, I suggest the state adopt and enforce a mandatory inclusionary housing program policy.

Book Synopsis Housing Policy of the Future? Do Inclusionary Zoning Policies Enacted at the County Level Have a Positive Impact on Education, Crime, Or Health Outcomes? by : Madeleine de Boinville
Download or read book Housing Policy of the Future? Do Inclusionary Zoning Policies Enacted at the County Level Have a Positive Impact on Education, Crime, Or Health Outcomes? written by Madeleine de Boinville and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusionary zoning laws, which provide incentives to private housing developers to build affordable housing in the community, have the potential to solve the growing affordable housing crisis. Unfortunately, these laws face a lot of resistance from community members based on the deep-seated fear that increasing the amount of affordable housing will deteriorate the quality of schools and increase crime rates. This study aims to corroborate existing evidence that mixed-income neighborhoods can be beneficial for the community. In contrast to previous studies that focused on individual resident outcomes, this study looks at the impact of increasing the amount of affordable housing in areas of opportunity on the entire county. This study uses a difference-in-difference model to evaluate the effect of inclusionary zoning laws on education, crime, and health outcomes in counties in California. After a thorough analysis, supported by dynamic estimates, the models did not reveal statistically significant positive impact. However, the results also did not show a statistically significant negative impact, suggesting that local residents' fear of affordable housing in the community is unwarranted. With over 45 million working families facing a serious housing cost burden, this study makes the case that inclusionary zoning laws should not be discounted as a responsible, fiscally sound, solution to the affordable housing crisis.
Book Synopsis The Economics of Inclusionary Development by : Stockton Williams
Download or read book The Economics of Inclusionary Development written by Stockton Williams and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With nearly 10 million low- and moderate-income working households paying more than half their income towards their rent or mortgage, cities are increasingly using their zoning authority to encourage the development of new workforce housing units. A study by the ULI Terwilliger Center for Housing assesses and illustrates the economics of the most common approach: inclusionary zoning (IZ). Through IZ, cities require or encourage developers to create below-market rental apartments or for-sale homes in connection with the local zoning approval of a proposed market-rate development project. This study-based on in-depth analytic modeling, an extensive literature review, and interviews with developers and other land use experts-provides such advice on what incentives work best in which development scenarios. The study's purpose is to enable policy makers to better understand how an IZ policy affects real estate development and how to use the necessary development incentives for IZ to be most effective.

Download or read book Inclusionary Housing in International Perspective written by Nico Calavita and published by Lincoln Inst of Land Policy. This book was released on 2010 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusionary housing is a means of using the planning system to create affordable housing and foster social inclusion by capturing resources created through the marketplace. The term refers to a program, regulation, or law that requires or provides incentives to private developers to incorporate affordable or social housing as a part of market-driven developments, either by incorporating the affordable housing into the same development, building it elsewhere, or contributing money or land for the production of social or affordable housing in lieu of construction. This volume examines inclusionary housing programs in-depth in seven countries (United States, Canada, England, Ireland, France, Spain, and Italy) and reports on experiences in others, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Israel, India, and Colombia.

Book Synopsis Inclusionary Housing: The Impact of Program Flexibility on Program Success by : Amanda R. Gold
Download or read book Inclusionary Housing: The Impact of Program Flexibility on Program Success written by Amanda R. Gold and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusionary zoning is an increasingly popular and controversial tool for creating affordable housing. More than 500 jurisdictions have inclusionary zoning ordinances. Despite the popularity of inclusionary programs nationwide, research on the subject is largely fragmented, and there is a real dearth of empirical research to support policymakers in their decision to implement inclusionary housing. Specifically, cities lack sufficient information about the most successful policy structures and the environment to which they are best suited. This study addresses that gap, exploring the extent to which more flexible inclusionary housing programs in California produce more affordable housing.
Book Synopsis Order without Design by : Alain Bertaud
Download or read book Order without Design written by Alain Bertaud and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure. Urban planning is a craft learned through practice. Planners make rapid decisions that have an immediate impact on the ground—the width of streets, the minimum size of land parcels, the heights of buildings. The language they use to describe their objectives is qualitative—“sustainable,” “livable,” “resilient”—often with no link to measurable outcomes. Urban economics, on the other hand, is a quantitative science, based on theories, models, and empirical evidence largely developed in academic settings. In this book, the eminent urban planner Alain Bertaud argues that applying the theories of urban economics to the practice of urban planning would greatly improve both the productivity of cities and the welfare of urban citizens. Bertaud explains that markets provide the indispensable mechanism for cities’ development. He cites the experience of cities without markets for land or labor in pre-reform China and Russia; this “urban planners’ dream” created inefficiencies and waste. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world, Bertaud links cities’ productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Inclusionary Zoning on Racial Integration, Economic Integration, and Access to Social Services by : Alexandra Holmqvist
Download or read book The Effect of Inclusionary Zoning on Racial Integration, Economic Integration, and Access to Social Services written by Alexandra Holmqvist and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central premise of inclusionary zoning is that by requiring a certain percentage of units to be affordable in all new development, local governments can implement a policy that produces affordable units and improves the equitable distribution of social networks, social capital and social services. To analyze whether inclusionary zoning has resulted in increased racial and economic integration and facilitated access to social services, this paper examines Davis, California as a case study because it seems likely that the longstanding policy has influenced integration. The author uses the index of dissimilarity to compare tract-level Census data from 1980 through 2000 in order to analyze economic and racial integration in the decades before and after the policy was implemented. The author also mapped government records data using GIS in order to spatially represent the location of social services and affordable housing developments created by the inclusionary policy. Using these maps, the author compared trends in residential patterns of race, income, and social services through a tract level analysis of area profiles, point data, and buffers. The results reveal that there is a relationship between Davis' innovative inclusionary zoning program and increased racial integration and access to social services, but there was little evidence of integration for income groups. While inclusionary zoning policy targets income groups specifically, with racial integration as a co-benefit, the sizable student population in Davis may have influenced the results. Overall, Davis' inclusionary policy seems to be successful, but can potentially do even more for disadvantaged groups.
Book Synopsis Housing Market Effects of Inclusionary Zoning by : Antonio M. Bento
Download or read book Housing Market Effects of Inclusionary Zoning written by Antonio M. Bento and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article presents an empirical analysis of the effects of inclusionary zoning policies on housing prices and starts in California during the period from 1988 through 2005. The analysis compares cities with and without such policies and isolates the effects of inclusionary zoning programs by carefully controlling for spatial and temporal conditions, such as the neighborhood or school district within which the house is located and changing market conditions over time. The analysis found that inclusionary zoning policies had measurable effects on housing markets in jurisdictions that adopt them; specifically, the price of single-family houses increases and the size of single-family houses decreases. The analysis also found that, although the cities with such programs did not experience a significant reduction in the rate of single-family housing starts, they did experience a marginally significant increase in multifamily housing starts. The magnitude of this shift varied with the stringency of the inclusionary requirements. Finally, the analysis found that the size of market-rate houses in cities that adopted inclusionary zoning increased more slowly than in cities without such programs. The results are fully consistent with economic theory and demonstrate that inclusionary zoning policies do not come without costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sick City is a call to action prompted by the crisis that crippled our cities, the pandemic. But the pandemic has brought the issues of race, inequality and unaffordability to the forefront as well, illustrating how all of these ills can be traced to unequal access to urban land. Patrick Condon walks the reader through that history, proving that most of these problems are rooted in the inflation of urban land value - land that is no longer priced for its value for housing but as an asset class in a global market hungry for assets of all kinds. The American wage earner who is most affected by COVID is also the worst hit by the surging price of urban land which has made the essential commodity of housing increasingly inaccessible. Not only does Condon dive deep into myriad and credible references to prove these points, but he also wraps up the conversation with some eminently practical and widely precedented policy actions that municipalities can enact - policy tools to establish housing justice at the same time slow the flow of land value increases into the pockets of land speculators.
