Public Use, Public Choice, And The Urban Growth Machine: Competing Political Economies Of Takings Law, Daniel A. Lyons
Public Use, Public Choice, And The Urban Growth Machine: Competing Political Economies Of Takings Law, Daniel A. Lyons
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The Kelo decision has unleashed a tidal wave of legislative reforms ostensibly seeking to control eminent domain abuse. But as a policy matter, it is impossible to determine what limits should be placed upon local government without understanding how cities grow and develop, and how local governments make decisions to shape the communities over which they preside. This Article examines takings through two very different models of urban political economy: public choice theory and the quasi-Marxist Urban Growth Machine model. These models approach takings from diametrically opposite perspectives, and offer differing perspectives at the margin regarding proper and improper condemnations. …
No Tax For "Phantom Income": How Congress Failed To Encourage Responsible Housing Consumption With Its Recent Tax Legislation, Rue Toland
Chicago-Kent Law Review
In the midst of the recent housing crisis, Congress passed two key pieces of federal tax legislation in an attempt to stem the tide of foreclosures and prevent further economic collapse. These two bills, the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act in 2007 and the Housing and Economic Recovery Act in 2008, both sought competing goals: lessening the harm to existing homeowners, and encouraging purchases by new homebuyers. However, neither bill adequately addressed one of the root causes of the housing crisis, namely homeowners obtaining mortgages that, for whatever reason, they could not afford. Indeed, the tax incentives these bills created …

Real Property, Linda S. Finley
Mercer Law Review
The survey period, from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009, has been a volatile period for attorneys who regularly practice in areas involving real estate. Each day the media is replete with stories involving the country's historic economic crisis, and the effects can be seen in Georgia neighborhoods and in resulting legislation. Given our point in history, the cases and legislation discussed in this Survey were chosen for their significance to real property law and to update attorneys who regularly or occasionally practice or render opinions regarding real estate law.

Getting Property Right: "Informal" Mortgages In The Japanese Courts, Frank G. Bennette Jr.
Getting Property Right: "Informal" Mortgages In The Japanese Courts, Frank G. Bennette Jr.
Washington International Law Journal
In Japan’s civil law property system, courts recognize a form of extra-statutory security, the jōto tanpo or “title-transfer security interest,” that is created by conveying legal title to the creditor, with a promise to restore it to the debtor upon repayment. Although best known today as a means to providing security in movables, jōto tanpo was originally an alternative means of mortgaging real estate, and this latter use of the interest is the subject of this Article. The two early attractions of the jōto tanpo interest to creditors were 1) the ability to avoid inefficient procedures for the enforcement of …
Reaching Back To Move Forward: Using Adverse Possession To Resolve Land Conflicts In Timor-Leste, Charlotte C. Williams
Reaching Back To Move Forward: Using Adverse Possession To Resolve Land Conflicts In Timor-Leste, Charlotte C. Williams
Washington International Law Journal
Like many post-conflict countries, Timor-Leste grapples with land conflicts that resulted from successive waves of property dispossession. Colonized by the Portuguese, invaded and occupied by the Indonesians, and briefly administered by the United Nations, Timor-Leste’s history has produced disjointed patterns of land tenure. These land tenure systems have given rise to five separate categories of land claimants, each of whom often have conflicting interests in property. While the newly independent country has taken steps to resolve conflicting land claims through legislation, existing law does not address the longstanding tensions underlying these conflicts, making it difficult for the courts to reach …
Adding Epicycles: The Inconsistent Use Test In Adverse Possession Law, Michael H. Lubetsky
Adding Epicycles: The Inconsistent Use Test In Adverse Possession Law, Michael H. Lubetsky
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The common law courts in Ontario developed the Inconsistent Use Test (IUT) to assess claims of adverse possession. The IUT, however, often produces counter-intuitive results, which has led other jurisdictions to reject it and caused the Ontario courts to craft numerous exceptions and qualifications to the test that have left the state of the law on adverse possession very unclear. This article argues that the IUT actually represents an unconscious attempt by the Ontario judiciary to develop a functional equivalent to the civil law principle of "interversion," currently found in article 923 of the Civil Code of Quebec (CCO). It …
Escaping The Takings Maze: Impact Fees And The Limits Of The Takings Clause, Charles T. Switzer
Escaping The Takings Maze: Impact Fees And The Limits Of The Takings Clause, Charles T. Switzer
Vanderbilt Law Review
The cost of a new home in swanky Naples, Florida-home of charming shopping districts, lovely white-sand beaches, and more golf holes per capita than anywhere else in America-recently topped $450,000. Included in this cost is a staggering $33,000 impact fee bill from the county. Even amidst a meltdown in the housing industry and a severe economic slump, local politicians have refused to reconsider the high fees. Impact fees are levied by local governments on new developments to pay a share of the costs of providing public infrastructure for those developments. The money is used to improve sewers, roads, parks, and …
Residential Protectionism And The Legal Mythology Of Home, Stephanie M. Stern
Residential Protectionism And The Legal Mythology Of Home, Stephanie M. Stern
Michigan Law Review
The theory that one's home is a psychologically special form of property has become a cherished principle of property law, cited by legislators and touted extensively in the legal scholarship. Influential scholars, most notably Margaret Radin, have asserted that ongoing control over one's home is necessary for an individual's very personhood and ability to flourish in society. Other commentators have expounded a communitarian vision of the home as rooting individuals in communities of close-knit social ties. Remarkably, the legal academy has accepted these theoretical accounts of the home without demanding a shred of empirical evidence. The misplaced belief in the …
