The Biggest and Smallest Barriers to California Housing Development

California's shortage in new housing construction causes higher home prices and social issues such as housing instability and homelessness. The study aims to identify solutions by finding common ground for dialogue among those who oppose new housing development.

Inclusionary Housing in the Sacramento Region Cost vs. Benefits

Inadequate housing supply is a challenge for the Sacramento Region's economic growth, quality of life, and social equity, as reflected in the escalating prices and rents. Policymakers are considering inclusionary zoning policies to address this issue by requiring builders to allocate a percentage of units for lower income households.

Measure JJJ: An Evaluation of Impacts on Residential Development in the City of Los Angeles

The City of Los Angeles has passed measure JJJ, requiring certain labor and affordable housing mandates for developments adding ten or more dwelling units and seeking plan amendments or zoning changes. This measure also created the Transit Oriented Communities Program, which offers a density bonus in exchange for deed-restricted affordable homes, comparable or more generous than the existing state density bonus law.

Cost Drivers Impacting Housing in California

California's undersupply of housing is leading to high costs, making it difficult for many to purchase homes. The growth of total employment and younger populations reaching milestones such as marriage and having children are increasing the demand for housing in the state.

Prevailing wage laws require minimum wage rates for workers constructing government-funded projects, with supporters arguing that it benefits workers while opponents claim it increases costs. This study aims to determine the impacts of including prevailing wage requirements in the construction of new market rate housing in California.
