Growth Management and Land use Controls: The San Francisco Bay Area Experience
研究了旧金山湾区地方土地使用和增长控制对住房市场的负面影响，发现这些法规减少了开发机会、推高了房价，并质疑其作为平衡环境与住房需求的政策有效性。
Local land use and growth controls have had a substantial negative impact on the San Francisco Bay Area housing market. These regulations have significantly diminished the availability of development opportunities in the region and forced builders to make major changes in the way they do business and costly alterations in their development projects. Both the empirical evidence reviewed and the case studies documented in this paper indicate that building moratoria, growth management systems, and restrictive zoning practices have helped lead to significantly increased house prices in those Bay Area communities in which they are present. The evidence strongly suggests that land use controls as they are currently utilized in the Bay Area provide a poor policy alternative for reconciling important environmental and fiscal considerations with equally important regional and national housing needs.
