Here's a stark finding: when single-family zoning goes up, Latino populations go down
The researchers found strong correlations between zoning patterns and racial demographics.Specifically, they saw that L.A. cities with high rates of single-family zoning had higher proportions of white and Asian residents — and dramatically smaller Latino populations.
The study found that home prices rise along with the predominance of single-family zoning. On average, houses in parts of Southern California with restrictive zoning laws cost twice as much as houses in areas with permissive zoning laws .The researchers also found that zoning appears to have a profound effect on children’s life outcomes. Across races and income levels, the study found that kids raised in parts of L.A. dominated by single-family zoning tended to earn higher incomes in adulthood.
“That to me is very disturbing,” he said. “Because it's essentially saying that the only shot they have at the American Dream is growing up in an exclusionary, probably predominantly white community.”Single-family zoning has long been a polarizing political issue in Southern California.
