NYC and Providence, R.I. round out the top three. Can you guess which city is No. 1?
Heavily-regulated land-use zoning has become the norm across the United States over the last decade — and there’s strong reason to believe that has driven housing costs higher in many cities.A new working paper from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University examined the change in local zoning laws since 2006, based on survey data collected in 2006 and in 2018.
Regulation is generally getting worse — not better — across the country While local officials were reported to be less-intensely involved in the regulatory process these days, based on the researchers’ findings, that doesn’t mean zoning laws have eased. If anything the opposite is true, particularly in the biggest cities along the East and West Coasts.
On average, it takes developers 3.4 months, or 111 days, to submit a project proposal and receive a decision from local authorities across the U.S. The one exception to the uptick in land-use regulation has been the relaxing of impact fees imposed on developers. These fees are required by some localities to offset the adverse economic impact a new development could have in an area — in many cases, the funds are used to support affordable-housing efforts.
