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.

In 2011, after the 2010 census, Virginia set out to redraw its state legislative districts.

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

DIVERGENCE IN LAND USE REGULATIONS AND PROPERTY RIGHTS |
92 Southern California Law Review 1055 (May, 2019) |
For the past century, property rights--and in particular development rights-- have been circumscribed and largely defined by comprehensive local land use regulations.

The importance of a roof over one's head seems clear to most of us.
