HOME IS WHERE THE HATRED IS: A PROPOSAL FOR A FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION |
10 University of Maryland Law Journal of Race, Religion, Gender and Class 249 (Fall 2010) |
Reconciliation is not about being cosy; it is not about pretending that things were other than they were. Reconciliation based on falsehood, on not facing up to reality, is not true reconciliation and will not last. -Archbishop Desmond Tutu The real story of the meaning of race in modern America, however, must include a serious consideration of... |

HOME RUN BASEBALLS AND TAXATION, AN OPEN STANCE: HOW A H.R. CAN BE I.R.D. |
3 Estate Planning & Community Property Law Journal 79 (Fall, 2010) |
A home run hitter steps to the plate. The pitcher peers into the catcher, who signals for a fastball. The pitcher gets set, winds up, and releases the baseball. Crack! As the baseball sails toward the right field bleachers, a fan sees it coming towards him. Dropping his beer, fighting the crowd, and risking injury, the fan catches the home run... |

HOW EVICTIONS FROM SUBSIDIZED HOUSING ROUTINELY VIOLATE THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS |
5 Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy 118 (Spring, 2010) |
People with severe and persistent mental illness are too often evicted from their housing for reasons that are truly related to a disability, in violation of state and federal law. Evictions are quick and can be initiated and concluded without any consideration of whether a tenant has a disability, despite the fact that a person with a disability... |

44 Columbia Journal of Law and Social Problems 1 (Fall, 2010) |
The opportunity for housing is the central goal of the Fair Housing Act. This can be enhanced through the creation of mixed-income housing developments, which increase the opportunity for integration and benefit those moving to a community, as well as those already there. In New Jersey, the decision in Southern Burlington County NAACP v. Mt. Laurel... |

I'm watching an episode of That's So Raven, a sitcom produced by the Disney Corporation.

The title character, Raven, is the older of two children... |

MAKING THE FAIR HOUSING ACT MORE FAIR: PERMITTING SECTION 3604(B) TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR POST-OCCUPANCY DISCRIMINATION IN THE PROVISION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES--A HISTORICAL VIEW |
41 University of Toledo Law Review 411 (Winter 2010) |
WHILE it seems logical that the rights acquired through the purchase or rental of a home would include the right to have water, sewer service, or police protection provided to you in the same manner that it is provided to your neighbor, housing discrimination continues to occur throughout the United States. Since 1968, however, the Fair Housing Act... |

NO TRAINING REQUIRED: THE AVAILABILITY OF EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS AS A COMPONENT OF EQUAL ACCESS FOR THE PSYCHIATRICALLY DISABLED UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT |
35 Thurgood Marshall Law Review 139 (Spring, 2010) |
Discrimination saps people's strength and their ability to struggle through each day-hence causing the very depression, hopelessness, anxieties, and suspicions that become the basis for further discrimination. Laws that prohibit . . . this discrimination have been passed; it is up to all of us to learn them, understand them, take them seriously,... |

POST-CONFLICT PROPERTY RESTITUTION: FLAWED LEGAL AND THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS |
28 Berkeley Journal of International Law 462 (2010) |
The international community has recently hailed the restoration of property rights for people uprooted by armed conflict as a means of remedying forced displacement.

PROPERTY IN CRISIS |
78 Fordham Law Review 1607 (March, 2010) |
Property law generally develops gradually, with doctrine slowly accreting in the interstices of daily conflict and the larger culture of property likewise emerging at a glacial pace. In times of crisis, however, fundamental questions about the nature of ownership and the balance between the individual and the state instantiated in the structure of... |

Oyama v. California was a landmark case in the history of civil rights.

THE FALSE PROMISE OF THE MIXED-INCOME HOUSING PROJECT |
57 UCLA Law Review 983 (April, 2010) |
Since 1970, mixed-income (inclusionary) housing projects have proliferated in the United States. In a community of this sort, only some of the dwelling units, perhaps as few as 10 to 25 percent, are targeted for delivery of housing assistance. Eligible households that successively occupy these particular units pay below-market rents, while the... |

The song Everyone's a Little Bit Racist from the popular Broadway musical Avenue Q proclaims, axiomatically, that [e]veryone makes judgments based on race [n]ot big judgments, like who to hire or who to buy a newspaper from just little judgments like thinking that Mexican busboys should learn to speak English!

THE REALLY NEW PROPERTY: A SKEPTICAL APPRAISAL |
43 Indiana Law Review 1229 (2010) |
The simple idea that it needs only a change in some external thing (such as the structure of property rights) to transform the human condition is superstition lurking behind many treatments of the subject. The call for transformation in property law reminds us that there is nothing new under the sun. Moderns have sought secular salvation; first... |

THE ROLE OF COURTS IN MAKING THE RIGHT TO HOUSING A REALITY THROUGHOUT EUROPE: LESSONS FROM FRANCE AND THE NETHERLANDS |

Support for victims of housing rights violations in defining and asserting their rights at a personal and group level is critical.
