School quality and affordable housing in the Bay Area
Cytron, Naomi (2011-06)
Everyone knows the old real estate adage that the three most important factors in determining the value of a given property are location, location, and location. This is to say that place matters; a neighborhood confers a bundle of amenities to its residents that are specific to that geography. This bundle can include proximity to parks, small-scale retail offerings, high quality schools, and a variety of transportation options, as well as low crime rates and clean air. These amenities are arranged in a variety of configurations across space, and most households determine which aspects are ...

House price differentials and dynamics: evidence from the Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas
Gabriel, Stuart A.; Wascher, William L.; Mattey, Joe P. (1999)

In reviewing various models' ability to explain California's house price patterns, we also provide some historical perspective on California's urban structure, ...
