Abstract

In 1998, Houston reformed its subdivision ordinance to relax minimum lot sizes in parts of the city. I exploit the spatial discontinuity in where the reform was targeted and use a difference-in-differences design to analyze the effects of the reform on housing markets. I -find that, where minimum lot sizes were relaxed, housing supply increased and average lot sizes decreased. Places targeted by the form saw increases in housing prices and new homeowners were more likely to be white and to have higher incomes.
