- W258298419 abstract "For good and ill, it is up to City Hall to ensure that shelter-based services generally meet the needs of older people and their younger neighbors. In choosing where to live, to relocate from their hometowns, or remain in place, aging people prize the same civic, cultural, and lifestyle features they have valued throughout their adulthoods. They also look for appropriate services and support suitable to their changing needs, planning for future necessities to the extent they can. Whether they remain employed or instead retire, they seek a welcoming, agingfriendly community with a balance of private comfort and public access. Such aging-friendliness is rarely something City Hall can mandate directly, and the current fiscal environment facing the local public sector makes the situation particularly vexing. To meet the growing, diverse needs of the older adult population, local government would seem to have little recourse but to increase the tax burden commensurately, to pay for extensive public services and amenities. However, in many localities, such a solution would first require resolution of the profound mismatch that exists between services demanded and residents' reluctance to foot the bill. An economy recovering too slowly from deep recession only worsens the dilemma. Still, despite these structural challenges, it's representative government's role to ensure that shelter-based services generally meet the needs of older people and their younger neighbors. All this sorts itself out in the local political economy and the markets for residential location across regions. At various aging stages, families and individuals stay or relocate based on what seems best among the set of feasible options. The aging-friendliest places often evolve as naturally occurring retirement (NORCs) (Hunt and Gunter-Hunt, 1986), with some government involvement (or despite it). Places slower to evolve may face cultural and economic barriers to change, and such reforms are beyond the reach of local government's traditional role. Nevertheless, cities and towns continue to act as more than fiscal agents in shaping outcomes. They heavily influence development patterns and control how land and structures can be utilized. Given some threshold public desire for aging-friendliness- which by necessity will become more prevalent in cities and towns nationally- an appropriate area of focus for governance and reform is local land-use regulation. Land-Use Regulation: One Arena for Reform In the codification and practice of zoning and planning, communities set priorities for what they build, where they build it, and how development best matches collective preferences and values. Those preferences are hardly monolithic, however. Since property values and quality of life are perceived to be at stake, city councils often host raucous public conflict over residential development proposals. Not in my backyard (NIMBY) revolts target unwanted projects. Some incumbents unconditionally oppose growth of all stripes, while others insist upon stringent mandates and exactions, ultimately inducing developers simply to locate projects elsewhere. Amid the aging of America's communities, local politics over land-use and development may not evolve toward aging-friendliness quickly enough. We cannot assume existing zoning and planning regimes, as currently configured, are optimized for the population's changing needs. Though they occur more slowly than needed, reforms are clearly warranted in many places. These changes must take the form of both accelerated removal of regulatory impediments and enhanced promotion of private construction and rehabilitation activities having public benefit. The discussion that follows identifies a number of key criteria civic leaders should consider in managing the land-use regulatory aspects of aging-friendliness moving forward. Enhance Affordability Development of housing that is affordable to all income levels is an ongoing challenge, particularly in high-cost regions. …" @default.
