Academic papers on Affordable Housing, Transit Use, Parking

Postby Anondson » April 18th, 2018, 11:27 am

Via Twitter I came across a research paper that came to a different conclusion than conventional wisdom that locating affordable housing near high frequency transit networks, like rail, didn’t help reduce transportation costs.

Seems the paper concludes that as long as abundant parking is available everywhere someone would want to go then even most low income people will aspire to taking on car ownership and all the costs that come with it. The paper concluded only when neighborhoods have restricted parking does transit become the significant method for low income residents.

Something to keep in mind regarding hopes for suburban rail and four plexes in Minneapolis.

Citylab has this post that notes an academic research paper argues that closing the homeownership gap among races would take 225 years to the close the wealth gap between races.

Even among homeowners, blacks have less wealth than white thanks to generations of housing policy so getting renters into starter homeownership alone won’t work to close the gap.

I’d personally argue that now that we used government policy to inflate housing prices for a few generations that homeownership now requires two incomes and a 30-year loan for a starter home the moat around affordable homeownership is worse than ever.
