Impact analysis
A fee would add costs for housing developers, which could eventually show up in home prices or reduce new affordable units — but the money could fund affordable housing.
Residents struggling with housing costs could benefit if fee revenue is steered into affordable housing.
Developers of market-rate and potentially other residential projects would bear new fees, which could slow some construction.
