Housing, Sprawl, and the Use of Development Impact Fees: the Case of the Inland Empire

نویسنده

  • RANDY BLUFFSTONE
چکیده

This article is concerned with the economics of excessively large and socially costly suburban expansion and attempts to summarize and organize the main economic arguments associated with sprawl due to single-family residential home construction. We also apply standard welfare economics and price policy instruments to the issue of suburban sprawl in order to suggest ways in which economics can participate in and inform the debate over sprawl. The article uses the Inland Empire, which includes the valley regions of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties in Southern California east of Los Angeles, as a case study. (JEL R11, R14, Q24)
