Inclusionary Zoning: Implications for Oahu’s Housing Market

Carl Bonham, Kimberly Burnett, Housing, Reports

This report describes Oahu’s housing market and summarizes results from an analysis of the effect of inclusionary zoning (“IZ”) on this market. Inclusionary Zoning policies have failed in other jurisdictions, and are failing on Oahu. IZ reduces the number of “affordable” housing units and raises prices and reduces the quantity of “market- priced” housing units.
