Back in the Air Again

The Antiplanner is flying to Bozeman, Montana today to speak at a property rights conference tomorrow. Bozeman is one of my favorite places, having first visited there in the early 1980s to help the Greater Yellowstone Coalition challenge Forest Service timber sales and later to participate in a series of seminars offered by the Political Economy Research Center (since renamed the Property and Environment Research It could only be possible when one viagra sample overnight is away from all such issues and consists of a highly active component Sildenafil Citrate which is known for its activity over the rate of flow of blood in arteries and vein of human body.

Center) and the Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment.

I’ll be speaking about the effects of land-use regulation on housing prices. Several Montana cities, notably Bozeman, Missoula and Kalispell/Whitefish, suffered minor housing bubbles in the past decade, while Billings and Great Falls — the state’s first- and third-largest cities — did not. It is pretty clear these differences can be traced to local land-use rules.

    School’em.

    Say you’ve got 5,000 people, bidding for land.
    Consider 2 options for available land:
    1 sq.mi. or 2 sq.mi.
    Which choice will have higher prices?
    Anybody? Anybody? Buehler?
    The lower amount of land will cause higher bids.

    Less supply yields higher prices, ceteris paribus?

    City regs, impact fees, affordable requirements (misnomer, look up rent control negatives), UGBs (most of all), and many other limitations, reduce supply & drive up price.

    How can some of you still not understand?
    Price is not purely a function of demand, mixed with city services, geography, construction costs, etc. There are invisible [to some] hands pushing up prices.
    Look at any commodity, such as oil or corn.

    Most city officials are homeowners (some multiple), so they actually have a bias for higher prices, as do existing homeowners. Some policies are just to reduce growth, which increases prices.
    So, the ballot box cannot fix many of these restrictions.

    Eminent domain is broken so much.
    Especially for hillsides. Why do people supposedly have a right to view vacant hills?
    Who’s land is it? Just 50′ away is residential zoning. That is not Euclidean. Meaning that the original intent of zoning was to prevent opposing uses (separation). Zoning has become so bastardized, often for special interests, rather than preventing interference.

    Hey, most of you know, that the land in Kelo vs New London is vacant?
    Pfizer moved out, after their tax breaks expired. Stossel covered that, but it was already old news by then.

    IMHO, it’s the biggest black eye planning has ever had(Although we should differentiate between planning and politics). Also, possibly the only time in my life I’ve agreed with Justice Scallia and Thomas. Phuck Pfizer!

    Years ago, (50 plus) as I remember, there were approved plans for 5 regional Shoppping centers in San Jose. One group owned 4.

    It is always politics.

    While the Antiplanner is in Montana, he might want tell the story of how the Historical Societies successfully blocked the Disney Corporation from building an American History Theme Park near the Manasses/Bull Run battlefield. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%27s_America

    The history buffs succeeded from having a theme park that would have taught millions of kids the history of the area, though not in the history planner’s preferred way. So today there is no history-theme park there, but just a bunch of houses and stores.

    That is pretty much the history of areas next to national forests and parks too.

    Nope. It is not pretty clear. As I detailed here 2.5 years ago and yet Randal still spreads falsehoods.

    Isn’t there anything else upon which to prop up the ideology besides falsehoods, hooey, and hokum?

    BTW, speaking of property rights and takings, did you hear how the jokers in the Colo House were arguing that the bill to clarify the out-of-state corporation along the Taylor River prohibiting boating access* was a taking? What a joke. No wonder the movement is marginalized.

    * Colo has a statute stating all waterways are public. The Bill was to clarify the law and repudiate the out-of-state corporation from prohibiting access alont its ~2-mile stretch of river.
