Exclusionary Zoning Practices: An Examination Of The Current Controversy, W. Harold Bigham, C. Dent Bostick
Exclusionary Zoning Practices: An Examination Of The Current Controversy, W. Harold Bigham, C. Dent Bostick
Vanderbilt Law Review
For the last 45 years the idea that local zoning administration is a highly desirable exercise of the state police power has become progressively more entrenched in urban thinking and planning. Although opponents of zoning have quarreled with details of administration or decried the failure of the Supreme Court to continuously oversee implementation of the zoning concept, they have assumed basic Euclidian zoning theory' to be beyond serious challenge. This assumption is no longer valid, for classic municipal zoning is on the firing line and its survival is by no means certain.
Landlord-Tenant—Exculpatory Clauses: Exculpation Contrary To Public Policy When It Totally Relieves A Landlord From The Duty To Maintain Common Areas—Mccutcheon V. United Homes Corp., 79 Wn.2d 443, 486 P.2d 1093 (1971, Anon
Washington Law Review
In separate accidents, plaintiffs were injured when they fell due to the defective conditions of the stairways outside their apartments. Both plaintiffs had signed a form lease with the defendant landlord which contained a broadly worded exculpatory clause. The trial court granted the defendant's request for summary judgment on the ground that the exculpatory clause precluded plaintiffs' suit, and the Washington Court of Appeals affirmed. The Washington Supreme Court reversed and remanded the case for trial. Held: An exculpatory clause in a lease of residential housing within a multi-unit apartment complex which totally relieves a landlord from his affirmative duty …

Special Project - Nashville Model Cities: A Case Study, Richard W. Creswell, Alan Gates, Paul M. Kurtz, Paul R. Regendorf, Samuel W. Bartholomew, Jr., Richard K. Greenstein
Vanderbilt Law Review
The future of the Model Cities program in Nashville is difficult to predict. As of this writing, the program is approaching the end of the first of five action years. The suit filed by the CCC in April 1971, is,more than a year later, still pending. It is, of course, possible that the program may eventually prove successful, but such a result is unlikely. Even if the CCC is replaced as the official citizen participation structure for the program, the ideological constituency from which the group derives its strength will remain. Furthermore, as the CDA continues to build an ad …

Housing - Virginia Attacks Blockbusting
Housing - Virginia Attacks Blockbusting
University of Richmond Law Review
Discrimination in housing along racial, religious, ethnic, and class lines has long been a problem in the United States. The most widespread methods of housing discrimination have included preferential advertising, soliciting, and showings in housing sales and rentals. In recent years another type of discriminatory scheme, commonly referred to as blockbusting,' has surfaced. Blockbusting has been defined as "the practice of inducing owners of property to sell because of the actual or rumored advent into the neighborhood of a member of a racial, religious or ethnic group." Typically, the blockbuster preys upon the fears and prejudices of white property owners …

Tenant Remedies For A Denial Of Essential Services And For Harassment -The New York Approach
Tenant Remedies For A Denial Of Essential Services And For Harassment -The New York Approach
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The New York Legislature has enacted a series of statutory remedies intended to afford tenants protection when a landlord fails to provide adequate services. The Legislature has been faced, however, with the problem of finding a proper balance between the property rights of the landlord and the human rights of the tenant. As a result, each of these remedies has severe shortcomings which render its operation difficult and at times virtually impossible.
