Inclusionary Zoning for Affordable Housing Under Attack
Jun 06, 2014The Public Law Journal, Vol. 37, No. 3, Summer 2014
For 100-plus years, cities and counties have used zoning ordinances to establish permitted and prohibited uses of real property. The courts have recognized that these policy decisions are best made by local elected officials who know their communities and are responsive and responsible to their constituents. Thus, the courts have afforded great deference to these legislative decisions of city councils and boards of supervisors.
