On October 14, 1978, Congress passed the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act, to require reports by foreign persons of their holdings in agricultural property. The Act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to compile data from these reports, and to analyze the effect of foreign investment upon the agricultural economy. In its 1976 survey of foreign direct investment in the United States, the Department of Commerce found that, although sufficient data existed in most areas of the economy to support an assessment of the effect of foreign direct investment, data on foreign ownership of real estate was insufficient. This was attributed primarily to the anonymity of most real estate transactions, and to the limitations of existing recordation and land data systems. Based on limited data, the survey estimated that foreign persons owned 4.9 million acres of real estate in the United States, of which 22 percent, or approximately one million acres, was agricultural property. These foreign holdings amounted to 0.1 percent of the 1.1 billion acres of United States farmland. The Act is one of several responses by Congress to economic conditions in the agricultural sector which are said to threaten the existence of the "family farm," usually defined to include small, owner-operated farms. Congress saw foreign investment in agricultural property as contributing to these problems primarily through rising land prices and absentee ownership of farms. Although the Act may help fill a significant gap in information on foreign investment in agricultural property, it is not clear that it will contribute substantially to solving the current economic problems of small farmers. The information available to Congress suggests that these problems are caused largely by increases in operating costs relative to production prices, the superior economic position of larger farm units," and governmental policies which favor the development of larger farms." The Act also raises the potential for conflict with other countries. Even ...

AbstractThis paper studies the effect of craft breweries on residential property values. Using a hedonic Difference‐in‐Differences (DID) approach and about 250 thousand housing transactions in Denver, Colorado from 1990 to 2016, we investigate the impact of proximity to a craft brewery on residential property values. We consider three types of residence (single‐family home, row house, and condominiums), three types of brewery (all craft breweries, microbreweries, and brewpubs/taprooms), and two measurements of distance (Euclidian and walk‐time). Our most robust results are found for single‐family homes, whose values enjoy a premium of up to 20.4% for being in proximity to a brewpub/taproom several years after, with the average annual maximum premium around 3%. As expected, premiums decline as distance from breweries increase. Beyond a distance of 0.5 km or a 10‐min walk‐time, the premium for a regional/microbrewery is greater than that for a brewpub/taproom. For single family homes within 4 km or 40‐min walk‐time, the annualized premium ranges between 0.41% and 3.01%. These findings support the narrative that craft breweries are a neighborhood asset.

Statutory Nuisance and Residential Property: Environmental Health Problems in Housing examines the statutory nuisance provisions in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 pertaining to the condition of premises and related problems in housing and compares these with the provisions of the Housing Act 2004. The book discusses the separate development of statutory nuisance and housing legislation in an historic context, which provides a useful basis for the understanding and interpretation of legislation and the different remedies available today. The work includes a chapter on actions by "persons aggrieved "using section 82 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and also considers remedies provided in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. This book: investigates housing problems in the context of the relevant law; and demonstrates how to use the legal framework appropriately and be able to decide on the most appropriate provision for dealing with environmental health problems associated with residential property. This is an essential and practical book for environmental health and housing professionals, as well as for advisers and lawyers in the private and public housing sectors.
