Objective
To determine if and how Supervised Consumption Sites (SCS) lower local real estate prices and attract people who use drugs (PWUD) to the area.
Findings/Key points
These models suggest homes sold near SCS may experience a price shock immediately post-implementation, with evidence of market recovery in the months that follow.
Design/methods
Interrupted time series and hedonic price models were used to evaluate the effects of Montreal’s SCS on local real estate prices.
