EQUAL PROTECTION IN PROPERTY AND PLANNING |
64 Planning & Environmental Law 4 (November, 2012) |
Private property owners occasionally chafe and complain and even bring suit when the right to use their property is subjected to government interference.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEALTH IS: THE CONVERGENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND GREEN BUILDING |
30 Pace Environmental Law Review 1 (Fall 2012) |
Housing in the United States, at least prior to the recent economic downturn, came to be viewed as an investment that grew over time, and which could then be cashed in either for better housing or for other uses, much like a growth stock or savings account. But housing's fundamental purpose is to provide a decent place to live-a comfortable place... |
