90% Informative

Economists Joseph Gyourko and Sean McCulloch's NBER working paper, The Distaste for Housing Density , offers the first rigorous quantification of how much homeowners value low-density neighborhoods.

Homes cost $ 40,000 more in regions with stricter density limits.

Strongest opposition to any kind of density increase is particularly strong resistance to rental housing.

Strong opposition exists in areas that might otherwise be prime candidates for density.
