PROMOTING THE PROMISE MANUFACTURED HOMES PROVIDE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING |
13-SPG Journal of Affordable Housing & Community Development Law 384 (Spring, 2004) |
Many Americans aspire to home ownership. This is because homes provide shelter, and, perhaps more importantly, they may provide status along with communal, emotional, and financial security. However, home ownership can be one's greatest dream or worst nightmare. This is especially true for owners of mobile homes, referred to as manufactured... |

11 Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy 435 (Fall, 2004) |
Under the guise of protecting public housing tenants from the ills of drug-related crime, Congress has enacted increasingly draconian regulations governing drug use among public housing tenants.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF DEBATE: IS ACQUISITION-VALUE PROPERTY TAXATION CONSTITUTIONAL? IS IT FAIR? IS IT GOOD POLICY? |
53 Emory Law Journal 587 (Spring 2004) |
Twenty-five years ago a modern Boston Tea party took place in California.

ABOLISHING EXCLUSIONARY ZONING: A NATURAL POLICY ALLIANCE FOR ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVOCATES |

Abstract: Exclusionary zoning limits residential development over large areas, and even entire cities or towns, to single-family housing on large lots. Exclusionary zoning is unfair to people and families of modest means (many of whom are members of racial or ethnic minorities) because it sharply limits where they can live and thus their access to... |
