James A. Kushner AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING 42/43 Urban Lawyer 179 (Fall, 2010/Winter, 2011) Remedying the absence of an adequate supply of affordable housing has been a target of comprehensive planning for nearly two generations.

Terry L. Turnipseed COMMUNITY PROPERTY V. THE ELECTIVE SHARE 72 Louisiana Law Review 161 (Fall, 2011) There is certainly no doubt that community property has its faults.

Matthew Jordan Cochran FAIRNESS IN DISPARITY: CHALLENGING THE APPLICATION OF DISPARATE IMPACT THEORY IN FAIR HOUSING CLAIMS AGAINST INSURERS 21 George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal 159 (Spring 2011) Risk discrimination is not race discrimination . . ., but is a higher [premium] for fire insurance in an inner city neighborhood attributable to risks of arson or to racial animus?

But the family is also political because political choices--whether in the form of legislative or... 2011

Joseph Blocher GOVERNMENT PROPERTY AND GOVERNMENT SPEECH 52 William and Mary Law Review 1413 (April, 2011) The relationship between property and speech is close, but complicated.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK: ASPEN PUBLISHERS, 2011. 368 PAGES. $40.00. 90 Texas Law Review 423 (December, 2011) Property is oft considered the province of the antediluvian, far situated from modern concerns, particularly issues of race and diversity.

Why don't you go back to the ghetto where you belong. Does the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) ban such statements to a minority family who has just moved into a predominantly white neighborhood?
