30. Supply = Solution,
but California Not Building Enough Because…
SOURCE: CA Legislative Analyst Office
31. Building in California is Expensive
SERIES: Homeownership Rate
SOURCE: CA Legislative Analyst Office
• 2 to 4 times higher on California
(CA) Coasts
• High land costs usually mean more
units being built on each plot of
land, but not the case in CA’s
coastal metros
• During the 2000’s housing density of
a typical neighborhood in CA’s
coastal metro rose only 4%,
considerably less than the 11%
average increase in the comparison
group
• The new housing unit in the
comparison group was also 40%
more dense than that built in CA.
Land Costs Building Costs
• $50k to $75 higher in California
(CA)
• Include labor, building material and
government fees, all higher in CA
than other states
• Development fees are higher in
California than the rest of the
country. A 2012 national survey
found that the average
development fee levied by
California local governments
(excluding water-related fees) was
$22,000 per single family home, as
compared to the $6,000 per single-
family home in the rest of the
country.
34. Federal Political Fiscal Climate
• Economic stimulus package/tax reform
• $550 billion over 10 years
• Tax reductions/increase in standard deduction/eliminate
property tax deduction
• Higher budget deficits will lead to rising interest rates
• Dismantling Dodd-Frank
• Banks will loosen up lending standards
• Buyers could have more mortgage options
• Heighten risks of having another financial bubble
• Reform of GSE’s
• Privatization or not?
• An increase in interest rates is expected if GSE’s were privatized
35. Federal Wildcards
• Trade Policy
• Boarder adjustment tax/Tariff
• Consumer pay higher prices on imported goods
• Higher inflation will lead to higher interest rates
• Other wildcards
• Healthcare reform
• Immigration Policy/H1B Visa program
• Policy by Tweet
36. FED holds off again – see you in December?
Efficacy of Monetary Policy?
Next FED Chair?
37. • Impact of ‘Gas Tax’
• Fiscal impact of Sanctuary State
• DIF & TUMF Fee Increases
• Housing ‘Fix’ Bills
• New Governor
• Super-Majority Continues?
