THE OWNERSHIP SOCIETY AND TAKINGS OF PROPERTY: CASTLES, INVESTMENTS, AND JUST OBLIGATIONS |
30 Harvard Environmental Law Review 309 (2006) |
This Article examines three models of property that can help us make sense of otherwise intractable takings doctrine. The two best understood models are the castle model, which conceptualizes owners as having absolute domain over their property as long as they do not use it to harm others, and the investment model, which conceptualizes property... |

THE PARADOX OF THE DRUG ELIMINATION PROGRAM IN NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC HOUSING |
13 Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy 415 (Fall, 2006) |
In recent years, violence and public housing have been closely linked in political and popular cultures; to many, public housing symbolizes the dangers of inner city urban life. Built mainly in the 1950s and 1960s to assist the poor and working poor to escape slum conditions, most housing projects are clusters of high-rise towers that were placed... |

How best to provide housing for low-income persons has been a topic of considerable debate. Studies indicate a serious shortage of low-cost housing, which appears to be worsening.

TRADING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OBLIGATIONS: SELLING A CIVIC DUTY OR BUYING EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT? |
39 Connecticut Law Review 347 (November, 2006) |
Exclusionary zoning, the practice of using seemingly-innocuous zoning regulations to exclude affordable housing from affluent areas, endangers metropolitan economic growth by increasing racial and economic segregation. Recognizing these problems, many states now require affordable housing construction in all municipalities. Unfortunately, these... |

In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the land underlying the World Trade Center towers has come to be regarded as hallowed ground, unsuitable for private commercial development. How did this happen? The land was deemed consecrated by the deaths of nearly 3,000 people that day, including those who worked in the towers and those who died trying to... |

The act of constitution will be precisely that regularly required to create or transfer the right in question. Thus, until late in the Empire, if the object handed over as dowry is res mancipi, a mancipatio or in jure cessio will be necessary, whereas for res nec mancipi a simple traditio will suffice. The distinction has disappeared, as every one... |

It is generally acknowledged that the 1964 Civil Rights Act is the most comprehensive civil rights statute in the nation's history. Yet the Act did not address fair housing. It did not have explicit provisions designed to combat housing discrimination, one of the most deeply entrenched aspects of racial subordination. Only in Title VI of the Act,... |

Although much speculation this winter revolves around when the housing market bubble is going to burst in the United States, specific markets appear to be relatively immune from any impending market realignment.

Courts at both the federal and state level are busy remaking the law of eminent domain.

But asking courts to second-guess the wisdom of governmental policy decisions cannot be a workable... |

Gentrification: though it is difficult to define this much-maligned and much-celebrated process of neighborhood renewal, it almost always involves the displacement of earlier, usually poorer, residents.
