Modeling Inclusionary Zoning’s Impact on Housing Production in Los Angeles: Tradeoffs and Policy Implications
Published On April 4, 2024
Guest author Shane Phillips from the UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies has authored a paper that uses the Terner Housing Policy Simulator to estimate the potential impacts of different inclusionary zoning (IZ) requirements on market-rate and below-market-rate housing production, with a focus on Los Angeles’ Transit-Oriented Communities program.
While the modeled scenarios do not represent actual production numbers, they illustrate how adjusting IZ requirements can lead to sharply different outcomes for affordability.
