There are useful policy tidbits in here about how we can make #MissingMiddle ✏️. These will be familiar to folks who have already read about this from Daniel Parolek's 📕 or Sightline Institute's explainers: --It's not enough to just zone for more units, you have to get the details right: "Design standards such as setbacks, 🌳 preservation, 🚗🅿️ minimums, slopes, lot size coverage, and FAR limitations often establish a smaller maximum building envelope [than one might think]... Some developers point to the need for very small minimum lot sizes to allow for-sale homes closer together that still fit into a single-family neighborhood style." --Building code reform, and allowing larger unit counts, could help: they found that for-sale duplexes were most likely to pencil. Once you exceed 2 units, it triggers the more expensive commercial building code that comes with about a 10% premium, meaning that going to even larger numbers of units helps: 10-plexes are closer to working than fourplexes. --Condo defect and subdivision map reforms could also help. For for-sale, detached or townhouses are cheaper than stacked units because of the costs and insurance premium required for condo-ization. --💰Targeted reductions in impact fees (or otherwise providing financial incentives) and better financing options for this housing category could help. Alternatively, zoning codes could explicitly incentivize this housing type-- e.g. Portland allows greater FAR for plexes than single family on the same parcels.
Recent state and local legislation has aimed at encouraging the construction of missing middle housing, such as duplexes and fourplexes. However, our new paper shows that current market conditions and the specific challenges of building missing middle make this housing type difficult to pencil out in key California cities.
