Does New Residential Housing "Pay its Own Way?"

In 2007, Blue Sky Consulting Group was chosen by the California Building Industry Foundation to analyze the fiscal impact of residential housing in California. Specifically, we addressed the question of whether new residential housing "pays its own way" at the state and local levels. We conducted the first of its kind analysis of every local jurisdiction in the state to determine whether revenues generated by new housing were sufficient to cover the costs of increased service demands from new residents.

The Economic Impact of Yokohl Ranch

In 2010, the Yokohl Ranch Company, LLC hired Blue Sky to analyze the economic impact of a proposed large-scale residential housing development in Tulare County. Given the county's emphasis on sustaining a balanced resident-to-employment ratio, the client needed our help in identifying and articulating the likely economic effects of this proposed development in the context of the county's projected rapid future growth.
