Last week the Reason Public Policy Institute released a new study by two economic professors at San Jose State University entitled “Housing Supply and Affordability: Do Affordable Housing Mandates Work?”
The report looks at the real effects of inclusionary zoning in the San Francisco Bay Area – where over 50 jurisdictions have adopted the policy in various forms with extremely poor results.
6-page PDF summary of the report
I encourage any policymaker who is thinking about adopting inclusionary zoning to read this report first.
