“…In addition, there are many empirical studies have shown that land use regulations, including those designed based on smart growth principles pushed up housing prices and reduced housing affordability (Anthony, 2003(Anthony, & 2006. A direct result is that the economic barriers become even higher for medium-low and low-income households to live in neighborhoods with better amenities that smart growth policies helped to create.…”

This study compares urban landscapes in the Portland and Los Angeles metropolitan areas at the neighborhood level by operationalizing six smart growth indices and mapping their spatial distribution patterns and time trends. Analysis results show that the two metropolitan areas have both strengths and weaknesses in different aspects of smart growth. Most neighborhoods in both regions do not excel in all six smart growth measures: they are at the high ends of some smart growth indices but at the low ends of others. Some smart growth features such as mixed land use and mixed housing are already pervasive in suburban areas. Density in some mature suburban neighborhoods is also relatively high. A large number of neighborhoods in suburban and exurban areas exhibit high levels of socioeconomic diversity. Time trend analyses suggest that in both regions, older neighborhoods tend to be "smarter" than newer ones, except for racial/ethnic diversity.

“…Like Anthony [66], Jun found that a successful planning process may also signal households experiencing a housing crisis. In summary, Georgia mandates comprehensive planning, but HUD may actually dictate housing equity for Georgia residents.…”

“…However, their protocol included items not specified by Florida's law, reducing its validity. Ten years later, Anthony examined the influence of GMA on housing affordability in sixty-seven Florida counties [66]. After examining 16 years of data, Anthony found that households in counties with compliant housing plans could not afford homes priced at the county's median sales price unless those households spent more than 25% of their household income.…”

According to the Plan: Testing the Influence of Housing Plan Quality on Low-Income Housing Production

For more than 20 years, scholars have assessed a plan's content to determine the plan's quality, with quality serving as a proxy for planning efficacy. However, scholars rarely examine the relationship between a plan's quality and the plan's intended outcome. Thus, it is unclear whether quality influences planning outcomes or even advances equity. To close this gap, this study assessed a non-random sample of housing plans from 43 cities in California's Los Angeles and Sacramento regions to observe how cities accommodated low-income housing needs and to observe whether each plan's quality influenced low-income housing production. The analysis indicates that the plans identified 42 different planning tools to accommodate low-income housing needs, and nearly 60% of the implementing objectives proposed construction programs. Quality is influential after the city's location, land-use, population, and the plan's compliance with state housing law are taken into account. In summary, quality illuminated how these cities accommodated low-income housing needs and, in conjunction with other city conditions, quality influences low-income housing production. Due to this non-random sample, this study calls on planning scholars to subject quality to more empirical tests on planning outcomes in other areas to increase quality's importance in scholarship.

“…In summarizing the results of a number of studies from California (Dowall 1979;Dowall and Landis 1982;Landis 1986), where growth boundaries have been in use since the 1960s, Anthony (2003) reports a consistent finding that growth limits result in higher housing prices. Downs (1992) found that in San Diego County, the median sale price of existing houses rose by 54% within three years of the imposition of a growth boundary.…”

“…on meshblocks just inside the MUL boundary) declines monotonically throughout the sample as does the coefficient on the cross meshblocks (DMUL3). The difference between the coefficients on DMUL2 and DMUL4 rises between 1992 and 1998, and stays between 2.25 and 2.35 over 1998-2003. In 2003 just inside the MUL is valued at 9.5 times that just outside the MUL.…”

Spatial Determinants of Land Prices: Does Auckland’s Metropolitan Urban Limit Have an Effect?

Land prices within monocentric cities typically decline from the centre to the urban periphery. More complex patterns are observed in polycentric and coastal cities; discrete jumps in value can occur across zoning boundaries. Auckland (New Zealand) is a polycentric, coastal city with clear-cut zoning boundaries. Information on land price patterns within the city is important to understand the nature of development and the effects of regulation in causing discrete land valuation changes. One key zoning regulation in Auckland is a growth boundary, termed the metropolitan urban limit (MUL). We examine whether the existence of this growth limit affects land prices. We do so in the context of a model of all Auckland land values over a twelve year period, finding a strong zoning boundary effect on land prices. Specifically, after controlling for other factors, we find that land just inside the MUL boundary is valued (per hectare) at approximately 10 times land that is just outside the boundary.
