Using ChatGPT to enhance public participation
Purpose In May of 2024, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) proposed to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). As part of the rescheduling process, public comments were solicited online during a three-month period. At the end of the public comment period, 42,903 comments were submitted. The collection and analysis of a large volume of public comments is a challenge for policymakers, especia…
Marijuana Dispensary Locations and Neighborhood Characteristics in New York City
New York State (NYS) passed the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) in March of 2021 to legalize adult-use recreational cannabis that allows for its distribution, retail sale, and on-site consumption in licensed businesses. While the state (NYS) has imposed some spatial constraints on the dispensaries’ locations, it is unclear what the current spatial patterns of those dispensaries are and how they impact neighborhoods. This research exp…
Building the Prison to Legal Drug Dealing Pipeline
Since 2012, twenty-four states have legalized adult-use recreational cannabis. To varying degrees, state laws allow for the production, distribution, retail sale, and on-site consumption of cannabis in licensed businesses. Accompanying cannabis, some legalization has acknowledged that black and brown communities were disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs. To address this, social equity provisions have been a component of their public po…
Neighbourhood accessibility and walkability of subsidised housing in shrinking US cities
This article advances the discussion of subsidised housing and accessible and walkable neighbourhoods by focusing on the characteristics of cities experiencing population decline. We examine the neighbourhood context of subsidised housing with respect to walkability and accessibility in shrinking cities using Walk Score and a walkability index that considers the unique neighbourhood dynamics in these cities and access to anchor institutions and t…
Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) on the Geographic, Socio-economic, and Public Policy Periphery
This article examines the geographic and socio-economic distribution of housing choice vouchers (HCVs) in the city of San Diego, California. It focuses on how the concentration of HCVs on geographic, socio-economic, and public policy peripheries forms a nexus that limits housing options for low-income residents. The analysis is based on a unique database that combines three datasets. One includes data for 13,973 individual HCV recipients measurin…

Community benefits agreements (CBAs)
Purpose Community benefits agreements (CBAs) redistribute the benefits of new development to distressed communities and historically disenfranchised groups. They allow coalitions of labor and grassroots organizations to negotiate for concessions in the development process. Yet, CBAs are a relatively new tool used in planning and local economic development, and specification about their content and scope is evolving. Some of the earliest CBAs were…
Siting Affordable Housing in Opportunity Neighborhoods
In this article, we examine the content and structure of the new affirmatively furthering fair housing mapping tool (AFFH-T) developed by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of its new assessment of fair housing (AFH) process. Our analysis is focused on the degree to which the data included in the AFFH-T is suitable for the development of plans to site affordable housing in opportunity neighborhoods, and the utility o…
Diffusion
Diffusion refers to the spread of ideas and behaviors across a population. The field does not cohere around a central question whose solution would clarify fundamental issues. Instead, what we see is the constant and fruitful exploration of new social worlds, and the adaptation of research methods and theoretical concepts to capture central realities of these worlds. We begin by describing two lines of diffusion research whose core assumptions an…
Rustbelt and Race
“Rustbelt” is a term used to describe the Great Lakes and northeastern regions of the United States that were devastated in the 1970s by the decline in manufacturing. Thus, the term has come to signify the physical, economic, and social degeneration of the once thriving industrial region. Presently, many rustbelt cities are characterized by large abandoned factories, loss of population, high poverty rates, dwindling tax bases, inferior schools an…
Neighborhood characteristics and the location of HUD-subsidized housing in shrinking cities
This article focuses on the manner in which affordable housing fits into anchor-based strategies for urban revitalization. It involves quantitative analysis of the location of existing HUD-subsidized housing in relation to neighborhood characteristics. The goal of the article is twofold. First, we examine the degree to which neighborhood characteristics associated with neighborhoods of opportunity correlate with the location of HUD-subsidized hou…
Moving Beyond the Great Recession
More than 50 years after Lyndon Baines Johnson’s declaration of a War on Poverty and 7 years after the official end of the Great Recession, we find that US poverty rates hover around 15% and the ga
Asymmetries in Experiential and Vicarious Feedback
We examine experiential and vicarious feedback in the hiring and firing of baseball managers. Realized outcomes play a large role in both decisions; the probability that a manager will be fired is a function of the team's win-loss record, and a manager is quicker to be rehired if his teams had won more in the past. There are substantial asymmetries, however, in the fine structure of the two feedback functions. The rate at which managers are fired…
William Worthy’s Concept of “Institutional Rape” Revisited
This article examines the role of anchor institutions in the urban revitalization process. We use case study analysis to understand how concerns about residential displacement are addressed by anchor institutions in the urban planning process. This analysis is designed to build upon William Worthy’s critique of anchor-based development during the 1960s and 1970s. Our analysis examines the degree to which his concept of “institutional rape” applie…
Neighborhood Outcomes of Formally Homeless Veterans Participating in the HUD-Vash Program
Research regarding how neighborhoods affect the people who live in them has grown in recent years. However, the neighborhood outcomes of formally homeless veterans have not received the attention this group warrants. This article examines the neighborhood outcomes of two groups of housing voucher holders. Using administrative data, this exploratory study finds that U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housi…
Chasing a Paper Tiger
This article focuses on a specific component of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) strategy to implement fair housing policy, its requirement for local jurisdictions that receive community development block grant (CDBG) dollars to prepare an analysis of impediments to fair housing choice (AI) report. The article’s analysis is based on an evaluation of the City of Buffalo’s 2004 AI report. The evaluation was conducted by …

Dawn of the Dead City
This article examines residential vacancy patterns in Buffalo, NY, using data from a unique data set. It includes variables from HUD Aggregate USPS Administrative Data on Address Vacancies, the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates for 2005–2009, housing choice voucher (HCV) records of local public housing agencies, and municipal in rem property records. Multiple regression is used to identify significant relationships between vacancy …
Trapped in Poor Places? An Assessment of the Residential Spatial Patterns of Housing Choice Voucher Holders in 2004 and 2008
This study examines the residential spatial patterns of Housing Choice Voucher holders in Western New York in 2004 and 2008 (n = 4,600 and n = 4,759, respectively). It seeks to answer two questions: Has the concentration of voucher holders in impoverished and same race neighborhoods diminished overtime; and are voucher holders, particularly African Americans, relocating in patterns that would lead to reghettoization or the reconcentration of race…
The Four Horsemen of the Fair Housing Apocalypse
This article examines US fair housing policy from a critical perspective. We describe the impact of the expansion of neoliberal ideology on the fair housing assistance program (FHAP), the fair housing initiatives program (FHIP), and the scope of US Department of Justice activities. Prior findings from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and IRS Form 990 are summarized. We argue that neoliberalism has contributed to the underd…
Organizations and Local Development
Under conditions of uncertainty, we predict that development will be tied to the idiosyncrasy of organizational forms represented within local regions. Our investigation applies this theory to data on 342 counties and 43,352 businesses in the US. South during Reconstruction, finding support for the thesis that organizational idiosyncrasy generally dampens growth and challenges taken-for-granted norms of community structure. The causal effect vari…
Building a Better Neighborhood Housing Partnership
Prior research has examined the role of intermediary organizations in affordable housing development and community-based housing organization (CBHO) capacity building. This article built on this work by examining an applied research project aimed at assessing the feasibility of creating a neighborhood housing partnership (NHP) organization in Buffalo, New York NHPs are nonprofit umbrella organizations created through public-private partnerships. …

A Longitudinal Study of African American Women and the Maintenance of a Healthy Self-Esteem
The present study examined the self-esteem of African American women (N = 428) over a 14-year period using the National Survey of Black Americans: A Panel Study of Black American Life 1979-1992 (NSBA; Jackson& Gurin, 1996). Difference-of-means tests were used to examine self-esteem in four time periods (1979 to 1980, 1986 to 1987, 1988 to 1989, and 1992), and OLS regression was used to determine the effect of three variable categories (support ne…
