Abstract
The aim of this paper is to assess the marginal effect of land-use locational externalities on the sale price of single-family houses, considering various spatial scales—in accordance with perception theories—and trade-off with accessibility to the city centre. From land-use and vegetation data derived from aerial photographs and Landsat TM satellite images, two sets of hedonic models, using OLS regression, are built from two samples of single-family properties sold in Quebec City. A standard model integrates property-specific factors, census factors, accessibility, and location attributes. In a second model, land-use and vegetation variables are considered on various spatial scales; a third step introduces the interaction effect of the surrounding land use with location, with car-time distance to the main activity centres being used as the main indicator. This allows for an analysis of the spatial variation of the environmental impact throughout the city considering relative proximity to the centre. The successful integration of environmental variables concerning location enhances our understanding of the local land-use and vegetation effects. It also improves the overall performance of the model while virtually removing spatial autocorrelation among residuals. Such models could be used in order to assess the fiscal impacts of various land zoning by law policies, thereby providing planning administrations with a useful decisionmaking tool.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
