Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design

We study the economic effects of place-based policies in the housing market, by investigating the effects of a place-based program on prices of surrounding owner-occupied properties. The program improved the quality of public housing in 83 impoverished neighborhoods throughout the Netherlands. We combine a first-difference approach with a fuzzy regression-discontinuity design to address the fundamental issue that these neighborhoods are endogenously treated. Improvements in public housing induced surrounding housing prices to increase by 3.5%. The program's external benefits are sizable and at least half of the value of investments in public housing.

Purpose This study aims to introduce the Youth Jeonse Rental Housing Program using the unique characteristics of the Korean housing market to explain its theoretical value in the current theoretical landscape of public housing and to identify the effect of the program on the regional housing price. Design/methodology/approach This study uses three hedonic price models on the basis of Korea’s housing market, namely, own, jeonse and rent models. Moreover, it uses the hierarchical linear model to include both house- and region-level variables. Findings Analysis shows that youth rental housing has no effect on falling prices in the region unlike long-term rental housing. Thus, the policies using regional tenure system are more effective in the social mix than existing public housing policies. Originality/value This study introduces the program using Korea’s unique tenure system called jeonse, arguing its advantages for the supplier, recipients and regional neighborhoods. Suppliers can easily provide affordable housing at a low economic and administrative cost, whereas recipients can easily mix socially, have broad housing choices and a fighting chance for a stable life. Additionally, this policy has a low negative impact on the region. Furthermore, this study theoretically presents the potential for mixed paths other than demand or supply policies. It introduces and analyzes special policy objectives for youth housing problems.

This paper examines the validity of J S Adams's propositions concerning the spatial properties of overt migration behaviour in the context of a British city (that is, Birmingham) with a significant public housing sector. Samples of migration moves associated with separate housing submarkets, identified on the basis of tenure/dwelling type criteria, are tested for sectoral, directional, and distance biases. Mean movement distances are computed to measure distance bias, and sectoral and directional biases are assessed by two move-angle models: (1) a uniform vacancy model, and (2) a weighted vacancy model which controls for the effects of a vacancy surface on migration patterns. In general, the results suggest that support for Adams's propositions is limited to moves associated with submarkets either in the private or in the public housing sectors characterized by relatively high levels of tenure security. It is concluded that locational preferences usually assume a low priority in migration decisionmaking when households are only temporarily committed to their current dwellings.

In From House to Home: Social Control and Emancipation in Portuguese Public Housing, 1926–76, Nelson Mota considers public housing policies in Portugal under the dictatorship that ruled there from 1926 to 1974 and during the two years that followed the democratic revolution of April 1974. He reviews key legislative initiatives and projects to show how the dictatorship's policies effectively commodified housing, exerted government control over the working class, and largely excluded the urban poor from the housing market. By contrast, programs developed under the postrevolutionary Serviço de Apoio Ambulatório Local, or SAAL, promoted self-help initiatives that aimed to improve housing conditions for Portugal's poorest citizens, thus securing their economic and social independence and their right to occupy urban space. During the “SAAL spring,” Mota concludes, building homes became more important than selling houses.

Damaging Effects

This chapter explores the main neoliberal policy failures behind the devastating fire in June 2017 that engulfed Grenfell Tower, a public housing tower block in London, killing at least 71 people. The first section discusses the Thatcherite destruction of the post-war public housing model that built Grenfell Tower. The second section traces the damaging effects on fire safety and resident agency from decades of pro-business deregulation policies and ‘austerity’. The third section pf this chapter examines the wider urban processes of gentrification-based housing market restructuring. The conclusion argues that while the fire may have been accidental, Grenfell’s destruction was a contemporary form of what Engels called ‘social murder’, and must mark a radical turning point in policy-making towards restoring housing safety for all in law.
