Local governments in the country are experiencing an imbalance between housing need and housing supply. Recently, the rise in housing prices has spiked that gap and created serious problems for local governments and their moderate income citizens. Rusk presents the inclusionary zoning ordinance adopted by Montgomery County MD, which created more than 12,000 moderately priced dwelling units as integral parts of market rate developments.

Luck of draw for shelter seekers?' (July 1) depicts the luck of 160 people in a lottery for affordable units in the new upscale Trio Apartments under the city of Pasadena's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. However, the burden of paying the invisible and unjust excise tax for these affordable units will be born by only a few of Pasadena landowners, not all the city's taxpayers or even the developers. A misconception is that it is the greedy developers who pay for inclusionary housing programs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Developers merely shift the cost of the units onto landowners by paying proportionately less for the land and shift the reduced rents onto the other tenants in their apartment complexes.

I. INTRODUCTION Since it first appeared some thirty years ago,' inclusionary zoning gradually has gained a foothold of credibility among some policymakers and legal commentators.2 However, this affordable housing strategy, in which local governments require builders to set aside units in new residential developments for low- and moderate-income households,3 has simultaneously met with a good deal of skepticism from some scholars.4 Critics argue that inclusionary zoning policies harm housing markets by reducing builders' abilities to profit from developments; consequently, they predict that developers will stop building in jurisdictions that adopt inclusionary zoning.5 Proponents of inclusionary zoning, on the other hand, maintain that rather than freezing housing markets, these pro...

Inclusionary zoning ordinances encourage or require real estate developers to set aside a percentage of the units included in market-rate residential development projects for low- and moderate-income households. However, concerns have been raised that inclusionary zoning can constrain residential development and increase housing prices in some instances. Understanding its strengths and weaknesses is therefore essential to help policymakers craft regulations that expand housing opportunities, while being mindful of unintended economic consequences. The literature review presented in this article is designed to provide such an understanding. Policymakers must be aware of potential excise tax effects in the current economic environment because weak housing demand may prevent developers fro...
