9 Columbia Journal of Race and Law 369 (2019) |

This disparity in use came about through decades of targeted marketing... |

Section 209 of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act requires a successor to a Department of Hawaiian Home Lands lease to have at least one-quarter Hawaiian blood.

HOMELESSNESS, CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE PATHOLOGIES OF POLICY: TRIANGULATING ON A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO HOUSING |
93 Saint John's Law Review 427 (2019) |
The importance of a roof over one's head seems clear to most of us. But private charity, the insurance markets, and the regulatory state offer no guarantees that this most elemental need will be even minimally met. This Article focuses on the continuing denial of any federal constitutional right to even minimal housing, despite the sense that basic... |

53 University of Richmond Law Review 1031 (March, 2019) |
It's a powerful thing to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, something that actually happened and has actually had an effect. I grew up in segregated Virginia, so I have a pretty powerful sense of the passage of time here. It's given us the opportunity today to review and mark human progress, to take stock of where we are... |

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued guidelines on April 4, 2016, addressing what providers or operators of housing (landlords, owners, management companies, real estate agents, etc. that rent or lease residential property) must do to avoid discriminatory effects and disparate treatment of tenants when a landlord... |

IMPROVING THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM THROUGH SOURCE OF INCOME DISCRIMINATION LAWS |
107 California Law Review 1635 (October, 2019) |
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is a government program that subsidizes the rent of low-income individuals or families, allowing them to afford housing in the private market. Families pay 30 percent of their income towards rent, and the voucher covers the remainder. Congress created the program with the goal of enabling low-income... |

Two major problems have brought us to what should be an inflection point in the ways we use land in the United States: the housing crisis and the warming planet. They will require significant changes in residential, industrial, and agricultural patterns and practices, both public and private. To alleviate the housing crisis, it will be necessary to... |

JUDGE POSNER'S RECONSTRUCTION OF PROPERTY THEORY |
86 University of Chicago Law Review 1201 (Special 2019) |
The many other terrific contributions to this Symposium analyze clearly and thoughtfully the impact Judge Posner's judicial opinions have had on a wide range of legal fields. This contribution, by contrast, begins by committing a cardinal sin: it rejects the premise of the Symposium. To be clear, I argue that Judge Posner has fundamentally reshaped... |

67 American Journal of Comparative Law 587 (Fall, 2019) |
This Article addresses the recent international trend in development theory and practice towards an enabling markets approach in housing policy. This approach delegates to housing markets the responsibility of providing affordable housing and therefore limits the role of government to stimulating the private sector through targeted subsidies.

LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS AND THE DANGERS OF PRIVATIZATION |
16 Pittsburgh Tax Review 247 (Spring, 2019) |
Current federal affordable housing policy is ineffective because it is being used as a business platform to attract economic development instead of improving the quality of affordable housing. The low-income housing tax credit program (LIHTC or the Credit) is the largest national low-income affordable housing program. The federal government enacted... |

The overlapping consequences of mass incarceration, a sweeping opioid epidemic, and an unprecedented homelessness crisis culminated in the birth of an exploitative underground industry of unlicensed, unregulated housing--known as three-quarter housing--in New York City.

An openly gay male and his partner decide to rent an apartment together.

MODERN WASTE LAW, BANKRUPTCY, AND RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGES |

Around the time of the subprime mortgage collapse, lenders began in earnest to sue borrowers by adapting the traditional law of waste. Today, these claims continue to rise in frequency and to expand to more jurisdictions. Lender waste claims provide a work around for state mortgage laws that prohibit personal deficiency judgments after... |

MONUMENTS TO THE CONFEDERACY AND THE RIGHT TO DESTROY IN CULTURAL-PROPERTY LAW |
128 Yale Law Journal 1130 (February, 2019) |
This Note identifies problems in cultural-property law that the recent wave of removals of Confederate memorials has illustrated. Because cultural-property law's internal logic tends inexorably towards supporting preservation, it has no conceptual framework for recognizing when a culture might be justified in destroying its own cultural property. I... |

One of the harshest collateral consequences of an arrest or conviction is the impact a criminal record can have on one's ability to secure housing. Because racial bias permeates every aspect of the criminal justice system as well as the housing market, this collateral consequence--the inability to find a place to live after an arrest or... |

The federal government has been heavily involved in promoting housing affordability since the 1930s and continues to have a critical role to play. Over the past several decades, the federal government has financed affordability by promoting development and income subsidies, but specific allocation decisions have devolved. Housing inequities can... |

A review of the past fifty years has generated a consensus that the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), also known as Title VIII, has fared far less well in addressing discrimination than its counterpart in employment, Title VII. Included among these failings is the relative dearth of intersectionality theory in fair housing jurisprudence. While courts... |
