Abstract
State and local governments often establish policies and regulations that increase the costs of apartments without considering the impact those policies will have on rents and affordability in a community. On the other hand, state and local governments can also create policies and regulations that reduce development costs and increase the affordability of new rental apartments. This document describes the relationship between costs and rents and illustrates how state and local policies impact affordability.
