Inclusionary zoning is typically applied to large developments. In exchange for including a certain percentage of moderate income units the developer will typically get a higher density than the property was originally zoned for.
It's usually not used for high dollar developments (whatever that means where you are) but most commonly for those with mid - range prices.
The new name for the housing is "work force housing".
Does anyone know of places where mandatory low-income construction does not exist? I'm particularly interested in Texas and North Carolina since they're relatively low in total tax burden.
Very few areas of USA mandate inclusionary zoning, at least state wide.
New York City for instance only requires it when developers get something from the city (zoning variance for instance) or land/area was rezoned and as part of that process inclusionary housing is required of a portion or all new development.
Anywhere in rural NC.
And, you will only have county taxes. No city taxes.
Yeah, but the lack of zoning basically means inclusionary zoning. So, you can build a big, beautiful and expensive house and expect someone to pull in a trailer on the lot next door...

The OP did not ask about the neighbors.
The OP asked about zoning.
I doubt it exists here. None of the newer housing developments here seem to have it, at least.
Some of them have CC&Rs and HOAs to keep the riff-raff under control. They can't keep them out, though. Riff-raff are too wealthy these days.
I don't think it is actually zoning. In Central Oregon, it isn't zoning, but in order to get the building permits for a large apartment building, the building has to include a couple of low income units. Otherwise, the permit process doesn't seem to ever get finished.
Are you planning to build a building? NC rents are cheaper than average.
Nope. Simply looking for like-minded people and hopefully stumble upon my definition of a unicorn: low taxes, good employment base, educated (and wealthy) populace, and low crime.
Problem around here is old landowners who were here before 'gentrification' and still want to keep a few hogs and two trucks on blocks beside a slowly collapsing barn next to 750K to million dollar homes. And given the county has a 'right to farm' ordinance they can keep doing it forever. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining I just find it funny that people move to the 'country' and then complain about the noises and the odors. I'm somewhat in the middle and just watch both sides.

Interesting scenario. I would have to say that the old landowners would be in the right in this case since they own their property and have been living that way before the newcomers. The newcomers should have more sense / consideration as to where to build.
