Abstract
Conflicts over protection of biodiversity and other environmental amenities seem to be at their strongest when housing development is at issue. Housing affordability has emerged as a major national policy issue, and is seemingly in conflict with other mandates to protect and enhance environmental quality. Despite this apparent policy conflict, and despite the enormous potential wealth transfers resulting from environmental regulation of land use changes, it is somewhat surprising that there are relatively few papers linking these two problems. This article reviewed some of the issues arising from environmental regulation of housing development, and highlighted a number of areas for future research.
