摘要

Planners, officials, and neighborhood groups often debate zoning changes, yet there is little empirical evidence explaining why zoning and other land use regulations are changed. I use logistic regression models to examine density-enabling rezoning (upzoning) in Los Angeles. I find that upzoning occurs where there are development opportunities combined with limited political resistance. Upzoning is most likely on well-located parcels zoned for low-intensity, nonresidential uses. Meanwhile, homeownersand particularly homeowners with access to valuable amenitiesare associated with regulatory stasis. I conclude by recommending strategies for addressing homeowners' concerns about higher density housing.
