Inclusionary Zoning

Mandating affordable units in new buildings - mixed at best.

Housing & ZoningCity CouncilLiberty check

C · 13/24

1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)

Require below-market units to integrate affordability.

2 · The realist counter-case

Realists warn it taxes new supply.

3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats

Average effect near null; California analyses found -7% supply / +20% price in some programs.

4 · Liberty check

Trades some new supply for embedded affordability.

5 · The real tradeoff

Depends heavily on calibration; easy to overshoot.
