Bakke has come of age.

PROPERTY, ENVIRONMENT, COMMUNITY |
12 Journal of Environmental Law & Litigation 43 (1997) |
Too often I have heard or read set pieces on the topic of property rights and the environment. They seem to come in two flavors.

The environmental... |

TAKINGS BILLS THREATEN PRIVATE PROPERTY, PEOPLE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT |
8 Fordham Environmental Law Journal 521 (1997) |
Proponents of takings bills rely on two unfounded claims: that takings bills will protect private property and that such bills track the Constitution's Fifth Amendment clause, nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
