Book Synopsis Do Affordable Housing Projects Harm Suburban Communities? Crime, Property Values, and Property Taxes in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey by : Len Albright
Download or read book Do Affordable Housing Projects Harm Suburban Communities? Crime, Property Values, and Property Taxes in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey written by Len Albright. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper offers a mixed-method investigation of the community-level consequences of suburban affordable housing development. Opponents of affordable housing development often suggest that the creation of affordable housing will harm surrounding communities. Feared consequences typically include increases in crime, decreases in property values, and increases in taxes. Underlying these fears is the hypothesis that the introduction of affordable housing is associated with community decline. To empirically evaluate this hypothesis, the paper uses the case of Mt. Laurel, NJ - the site of landmark affordable housing legal cases and subsequent 100%-affordable housing development. Employing a time series group control experiment, we use simple OLS regression to compare crime, property value, and property tax outcomes in Mt. Laurel to the outcomes in similar nearby municipalities that did not build comparable 100%-affordable housing developments. We find that affordable housing development was not associated with increase crime, decreased property values, and increased taxes. To better understand the community-level consequences of affordable housing development, we also analyze 102 in-depth interviews with residents, police officers, and public officials. Overall, the findings suggest that affordable housing does not harm the communities in which it is developed. We discuss the implications of these findings for sociological understandings of neighborhood effects and for policy dilemmas.

Book Synopsis Growth Management and Affordable Housing by : Anthony Downs
Download or read book Growth Management and Affordable Housing written by Anthony Downs. This book was released on 2004-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocates of growth management and smart growth often propose policies that raise housing prices, thereby making housing less affordable to many households trying to buy or rent homes. Such policies include urban growth boundaries, zoning restrictions on multi-family housing, utility district lines, building permit caps, and even construction moratoria. Does this mean there is an inherent conflict between growth management and smart growth on the one hand, and creating more affordable housing on the other? Or can growth management and smart growth promote policies that help increase the supply of affordable housing? These issues are critical to the future of affordable housing because so many local communities are adopting various forms of growth management or smart growth in response to growth-related problems. Those problems include rising traffic congestion, the absorption of open space by new subdivisions, and higher taxes to pay for new infrastructures. This book explores the relationship between growth management and smart growth and affordable housing in depth. It draws from material presented at a symposium on these subjects held at the Brookings Institution in May 2003, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the National Association of Realtors, and the Fannie Mae Foundation. Contributors seek to inform the debate and provide some useful answers to help the nation accommodate the curtailment of growth in urban and suburban domains while still ensuring a supply of affordable housing.
