Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalist Brad Inman Chronicled the California Real Estate Market in a Wide-Ranging Series of Articles The housing market in California continues to be one of the most expensive in the country. Cost and demand have both been rising for decades, resulting in an affordable housing crisis that concerns and impacts policymakers, citizens, and companies across the state. But how did we get here? And how do we solve the problem? These articles, written for a variety of publications between 1985 and 1990, discuss the factors that shaped the housing market in California. Despite the range of topics covered, from infrastructure to environmentalism, affordable housing to technology, one unmistakable trend stands out: the beginnings of the current affordable housing mess. It has been in the works for 40 years and can be squarely put at the doorstep of three main groups: homeowners, environmentalists and gutless politicians. The affordable housing crisis was decades in the making; it will take decades to fix. Long-term solutions will require commitment to the good of the community as a whole rather than to self-interest by individuals and policymakers. In looking back over these articles, I see the same California market that we are familiar with today: rising costs, increasing demand, and a lack of policies to curb these trends. I hope my future articles will highlight new and better trends for California.

Book excerpt: Using the most recent available data, this report attempts to identify: • The dimensions of Californias housing problems; • The impact of the states housing problems on low and middle income Californians; • The causes of the current crisis; • The variation of housing problems among regions and population groups; and • The role public policies can play in supporting affordable housing. [...] Since the mid-1980s, incomes of the bottom 60 percent of Californias families have fallen after adjusting for inflation.7 The substantial growth in the incomes of the wealthiest Californians has actually worsened the states housing crisis, since those households have bid up the price of both homeownership and rental housing. [...] Incomes Have Failed to Keep Pace with the Rising Cost of Housing Over the past decade, the cost of rental housing has risen faster than inflation in the states two largest metropolitan areas and faster than the incomes of the average California family. [...] Nationally, 55 percent of households could afford to purchase the median priced home in 1999, as compared to 37 percent of California households.18 While the affordability of homeownership remained constant between 1998 and 1999 for the nation, the share of California households able to afford the median priced home dropped three percentage points during the same period. [...] 19 California, the share of homes affordable to median income households ranged from 45 percent in Santa Barbara to only 11 percent in San Francisco.19 The income needed to purchase the median priced home ($63,532) far exceeds the income of the median California household ($40,934 in 1998).20 In other words, the median California household earns less than two-thirds the income needed to purchase t.

Download or read book Unintended Or Intended Consequences The Effect of Below Market Housing Mandates on Housing Markets in California written by Tom Means and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusionary zoning, also known as below-market housing mandates, is now in place in one-third of California cities and is spreading around the united states. Supporters of this policy advocate making housing more affordable by placing price controls on a percentage of new homes. But if almost all economists agree that price controls on housing reduce quantity and cause shortages, why do so many policymakers or voters support them? Ellickson [1981] argued that inclusionary zoning may be popular precisely because, contrary to the expressed goals of the program, it actually restricts supply and leads to higher prices. incumbent homeowners and policymakers catering to them can benefit from restricting new supply. using panel data and a first difference model, we test how the policy affected the price and quantity of housing in California cities between 1980, 1990, and 2000. under various specifications we find that cities adopting below-market housing mandates end up with higher prices and fewer homes. Between 1980 and 1990, cities imposing below-market housing mandates end up with 9 percent higher prices and 8 percent fewer homes overall. Between 1990 and 2000 cities imposing below-market housing mandates end up with 20 percent higher prices and 7 percent fewer homes overall. Consistent with Ellickson's hypothesis, the program may not be about increasing the supply of housing or making it more affordable overall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California is at the cutting edge of technological change, demographic transformation, and international engagement. It has the country's largest population, and is its biggest producer of agricultural and manufactured goods, its main exporter and importer, and a leading center for higher education, research, the media, and philanthropy. Its population is the most international; more than a quarter of the state's residents were born in another country. But habits of thought and structures date from the mid-twentieth century, when California was turned inward. California today lacks ideas, institutions, and policies commensurate with its global stakes and clout. Global California addresses an important subject: how the citizens of a state with the dimensions and power of a nation are affected by international trends, and what they can do to identify and promote their own interests in a rapidly changing world. In this fresh, well-informed, and balanced analysis, Abraham Lowenthal deals with numerous thorny issues—from globalization, trade, and infrastructure to immigration, environmental pollution, climate change, and California's ties with neighboring Mexico and the dynamic Asian economies. A recognized authority on foreign affairs, Lowenthal argues that the real choices are not whether to cheer globalization or condemn it. Rather, Californians need to think strategically and act effectively to gain as much as possible from international engagement while managing its risks and costs. They need to build "cosmopolitan capacity" to understand and respond to global challenges and opportunities. Too much is at stake for California—its citizens, government, firms and non-governmental organizations—to leave thinking and acting on international affairs to the federal government and to East Coast think tank experts. This volume shows Californians how to succeed in an ever more interconnected world.
