"Property" In The Fifth Amendment: A Quest For Common Ground In The Maze Of Regulatory Takings, David C. Buck Oct 1993

"Property" In The Fifth Amendment: A Quest For Common Ground In The Maze Of Regulatory Takings, David C. Buck

Vanderbilt Law Review

In 1922, the Supreme Court embarked on its first decision to protect property owners from unbridled, uncompensated government regulation. Prior to Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon, the courts applied the Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendments only to "'direct appropriation[s]' of property ... or the functional equivalent of a 'practical ouster of [the owner's] possession.' " Mahon established that governmental regulation that affects an owner's use of his land may constitute a taking under the Fifth Amendment. In Mahon, Justice Holmes recognized the need for constitutional limits on the government's power to impair certain rights inherent in the ownership …

Cites For Sore Ears (A Paper Moon), Vaughan Black, David Fraser Apr 1993

Cites For Sore Ears (A Paper Moon), Vaughan Black, David Fraser

Dalhousie Law Journal

Music, as we know, is one of our vital cultural practices. It "has charms to soothe a savage breast" and is "the food of love."' Someone who does not love music is not to be trusted but someone "who has music in his [sic] soul will be most in love with the loveliest." Music and one's attitude towards it tell us a lot about the ethical and moral value of a person. Law, another key part of our culture, has traditionally dealt with music mainly as something which might fall within the domain of copyright or some related field of …


Male Sexuality: Why Ownership Is Sexy, John Stoltenberg Jan 1993

Male Sexuality: Why Ownership Is Sexy, John Stoltenberg

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

What I want to address is what I call the eroticism of owning. We have a lot of circumstantial evidence that this eroticism exists. For instance, based on the testimony of women who are or have been sexually owned in marriage, taken in rape, and/or sexually used for a fee in prostitution, it appears that for many men, possession is a principal part of their sexual behavior. Many men can scarcely discern any erotic feelings that are not associated with owning someone else's body.

Race, Space, And Place: The Relation Between Architectural Modernism, Post-Modernism, Urban Planning, And Gentrification, Keith Aoki Jan 1993

Race, Space, And Place: The Relation Between Architectural Modernism, Post-Modernism, Urban Planning, And Gentrification, Keith Aoki

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Since the early 19th century, American city planning and architectural design has sought to reconcile the city with the countryside. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, city planning focussed on bringing elements of the country to the urban landscape, while for much of the 20th century architectural designs sought to make the city more accessible to suburbanites. Both approaches to urban planning were based on architectural modernism, which led to city development plans that reflected developers' subjective value laden biases about urban life. The result was significant urban decay as zoning regulations and utilitarian city planning resulted in …
