Land as Airspace: How Rezoning Privatizes Public Space (and Why Governments Should Not Give It Away for Free) Housing Policy Debate (IF 2.42) Pub Date : 2023-07-31 Cameron K. Murray, Joshua C. Gordon
Abstract A popular but contested view is that mass rezoning is an essential policy measure to address housing affordability. Often obscured in debates about this measure is that rezoning involves the privatization of public space. We clarify the nature of the policy by recognizing that property rights over land are, conceptually, a bundle of socially negotiated rights to parcels of airspace. This view

Abstract Funding urban governments is important and in places with weak governance, it may be the case that selling development rights is the most viable option for raising local revenue.

The Case for Mass Upzoning Housing Policy Debate (IF 2.42) Pub Date : 2023-07-26 Minjee Kim
Abstract Murray and Gordon argue against mass upzonings that are unaccompanied by value capture tools based on the grounds that (a) cities are giving away valuable public air rights to private property owners when undertaking mass upzoning and thus (b) cities should employ value-capture policies to avoid complete privatization of public air rights. I first add a cautionary note that development of

Airspace Rights and Affordable Housing Supply Housing Policy Debate (IF 2.42) Pub Date : 2023-07-24 Casey J. Dawkins

This comment offers two objections to the arguments presented by the authors. First, given that zoned capacity determines long-run housing supply, upzoning offers one potential solution to the affordable housing crisis

Abstract Eviction is a common and consequential event in the lives of tenants and is shaped by the legal environments in which it takes place. In this study, we show that eviction filing fees, or the amounts of money it costs landlords to begin formal evictions, have a large effect on eviction practices. Specifically, fees that are higher by $76 (one standard deviation) lead to lower eviction filing

Abstract A causal relationship between eviction rates and homelessness rates has long been hypothesized, but there is little empirical evidence to support its existence.

We align community-level homelessness rates with county-level rates of
