Abstract. Although housing prices and the lack of real income growth are cited as the main factors behind the housing affordability problem, it has been proven that land use regulations have some responsibility as well. Indexes have been the most common indicator used to characterize the stringency of local land use regulations; however, these studies focus primarily on those most stringent regulatory environments, and therefore there is no evidence of the validity of such indexes in areas regarded as less stringent. In response to this lack of evidence, using a unique data set, this article presents an index characterizing local regulatory environments in a well-known less stringent regulatory environment: the Houston-Galveston Area in Texas. This index proves to be a robust measure capable of capturing the multi-dimensional nature of land use regulations. The analysis and validation of the index confirms the importance of the use of these composite measures to characterize land use regulatory environments of metropolitan areas.

“…Most undertake interregional analyses (Carruthers, 2003;Carruthers and Ulfarsson, 2002;Hilber and RobertNicoud, 2009;Saiz, 2010) and, as a result, encounter difficulties when matching land use measures to the political jurisdictions empowered with their introduction. Others draw on local data, but either disregard the political factors or are unable to obtain any evidence regarding their relevance Santerre, 1994 and2001;Evenson and Wheaton, 2003).…”

“…One advantage of this approach over previous methods reported in the literature (see, for example, Bates and Santerre, 1994, Evenson and Wheaton, 2003 is that the dependent variable can be precisely matched to the particular government responsible for the policy at that time. Its drawback, however, is the possibility that certain influences on land policy that are correlated with the partisan identity of the local government remain omitted.…”
