The Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor in Arlington, Virginia saw massive redevelopment between the 1970s and today, transforming from a low-density area into a high-density, mixed-use transit corridor centered around 5 Metro stations. Redevelopment resulted in over 4 times as many jobs and over 4 times as much office space, along with a large increase in housing units. The corridor generates half of Arlington County's property tax revenue while comprising only 11% of the land area, funding parks, schools, and other services. Transit usage along the corridor is high, with over 45,000 daily Metro boardings and most residents walking, biking or taking transit to stations rather than driving.

The document discusses tools for measuring and applying location efficiency to deliver community benefits. It summarizes research on the relationship between density, transportation choices, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Areas with higher density and more transit options tend to have lower VMT. The document also discusses how accounting for combined housing and transportation costs (H+T) provides a truer measure of affordability than only considering housing costs. Analyzing locations based on their H+T costs can help address issues like foreclosures, inform planning, and promote more sustainable development patterns. Case studies of developments in Illinois that received funding from the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) show that those near transit tended to have lower transportation costs.

Proud Ground homes operate like traditional homeownership with mortgages, equity accumulation, and tax benefits, but have much lower purchase prices in exchange for restricted resale values. The organization works with brokers and employers to promote the program.

This document summarizes the Morgan Woods affordable housing development project on Martha's Vineyard. Some key points:
1) Morgan Woods created 60 affordable housing units, nearly doubling the island's inventory, to house year-round residents who provide essential services but can no longer afford to live there.
2) The development overcame many logistical challenges to transport modular units by barge and complete construction efficiently. Thoughtful design has created a family-friendly community environment.
3) The success of Morgan Woods has helped the developer, The Community Builders, build a strong reputation on the Cape and Islands and take on additional affordable housing projects.
Robert Clifford BWH Boston 2011
The document discusses housing affordability in the context of the recent housing crisis. It makes three key points:
1) While falling home prices have led to record housing affordability levels, most households entered the downturn already facing high housing costs and few can take advantage of lower prices.
2) Measures of housing affordability and burden show that affordability has only improved to early 2000 levels and many households, especially low- and moderate-income, still face high housing costs.
3) The housing affordability problem is particularly acute in Massachusetts compared to other markets. Most households cannot benefit from lower home prices due to existing high housing cost burdens.
