PBA has commissioned a statewide study to quantify the financial burden of regulation on the cost of residential development and construction in Pennsylvania. All public policy and regulatory initiatives have a cost, and PBA believes Pennsylvania’s regulatory environment and local zoning mandates have helped worsen the current housing attainability and affordability crisis.
Your participation in this survey will be critical in our efforts to show public policy makers how their decisions influence the availability and affordability of housing in Pennsylvania. PBA commissioned Home Innovation Research Labs* to conduct a survey of Pennsylvania builders and developers to estimate the cost of regulation for the land they developed and homes they built.
Please use this link to participate in the “Cost of Regulation in the Price of a New Home in Pennsylvania”.
***Please Note: You should plan to start and finish the survey in one sitting***
Again, your participation in this survey is vital in our efforts to show public policy makers how their everyday decisions influence the availability and affordability of housing in Pennsylvania. The better we can quantify the costs of regulation, the better our chances of influencing public policy makers. We are urging our builder, developer, and remodeler members to complete the survey.
