M <br />M. Conclusions <br />These PUMS data indicate that singlo-family households generate significantly greater <br />impacts on public schools, at all levels, compered to multi- family households. Charging <br />impact fees on apartment units at half the fee charged to single - family bouses Qr few would <br />be more consistent with the actual impacts on public schools. Furthermore, the impact fee <br />would be far less regressive as a result. For example, a fee of $3.000 on a house priced at <br />$240,040 is 1.25% of the price; the same fee on an apartment costing $60,000 is 5.00/9. <br />Dropping the impact fee to S1,500 still generates a burden on the apartment of 2.5%. <br />
