TIL everyone's favorite developer villain Geoff Palmer got the courts to declare inclusionary zoning illegal in California in 2009, and it stayed that way until the legislature fixed it in 2017.

here you go that's for the average (California) IZ policy, many existing policies have even steeper estimated effects on the scale of a 50% reduction bpb-us-e2.wpmucdn.com/sites.uci.ed...

A lot going on here, but it basically shows building permits issued in CA cities with IZ requirements. The vertical dotted lines show years when IZ was banned. Permits increased after the ban and plummeted after IZ was reinstated.

Note that the y-axis isn't the raw number of permits - it's what percentage fewer (or more) permits were issued in cities with IZ vs. those without.
