With thousands of new jobs and theanticipated addition of 5 million people over the next decade, thisperiod will see the least home and apartment development than any recenteconomic boom. UCLA economist Rajeev Dhawan attributes an increasinganti-growth sentiment, tax laws that favor commercial development overhousing, environmental regulations, and the high cost of land as reasonsfor the lack of development.
