Transit-Oriented Incentives and Multifamily Housing: Evidence from Los Angeles

Spurred by rising housing costs, many US cities and states have adopted policies that make it easier to build new housing, often by allowing denser, multifamily units in areas previously limited to lower-density single-family and small multifamily homes.

In this presentation, Meyer Fellow Stephanie Kestelman, the incoming Director of Housing at Arnold Ventures, will discuss her research examining how the Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Incentive Program in Los Angeles has affected the quantity, type, and timing of new housing since its adoption in 2017.
