24 Texas Journal on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights 223 (Spring, 2019) |
Scholarly writings about collective actions for the production of non-excludable goods, especially in the field of law and economics, look at coordination of class members as a potential failure--a collective-action problem. Economics professor Harold Demsetz's famous article Toward a Theory of Property Rights belongs to this tradition of writing.... |

BEYOND THE DOUBLE VETO: HOUSING PLANS AS PREEMPTIVE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMPACTS |
71 Hastings Law Journal 79 (December, 2019) |
The problem of local-government barriers to housing supply is finally enjoying its moment in the sun. For decades, the states did little to remedy this problem and arguably they made it worse. But spurred by a rising Yes in My Backyard (YIMBY) movement, state legislatures are now trying to make local governments plan for more housing, allow greater... |

In this essay, we assess the prospects for more coordinated government efforts to address housing and school segregation at the federal, state and local level.

In 2011, after the 2010 census, Virginia set out to redraw its state legislative districts. In drawing the new House districts, the legislature relied on traditional, race-neutral districting criteria; the one-person-one-vote rule; and a 55-percent target for the black voting age population in each district, in order to comply with the Voting... |

Since the end of the American Civil War, scholars have debated the efficacy of various models of community economic development, or CED.

The FHA prohibits discrimination by both public (e.g., state and local government agencies) and private (e.g.,... |
