The Tragedy Of The Anticommons: Property In The Transition From Marx To Markets, Michael A. Heller Jan 1998

The Tragedy Of The Anticommons: Property In The Transition From Marx To Markets, Michael A. Heller

Articles

Why are many storefronts in Moscow empty, while street kiosks in front are full of goods? In this Article, Professor Heller develops a theory of anticommons property to help explain the puzzle of empty storefronts and full kiosks. Anticommons property can be understood as the mirror image of commons property. By definition, in a commons, multiple owners are each endowed with the privilege to use a given resource, and no one has the right to exclude another When too many owners hold such privileges of use, the resource is prone to overuse - a tragedy of the commons. Depleted fisheries …


Facing The Facts: An Empirical Study Of The Fairness And Efficiency Of Foreclosures And A Proposal For Reform, 30 U. Mich. J.L. Reform 639 (1997), Debra Pogrund Stark Jan 1997

Facing The Facts: An Empirical Study Of The Fairness And Efficiency Of Foreclosures And A Proposal For Reform, 30 U. Mich. J.L. Reform 639 (1997), Debra Pogrund Stark

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Lenders view real estate foreclosures as too expensive and time consuming a process which needlessly increases the costs of making loans. Others complain that the foreclosure process fails to adequately protect the borrower's equity (the value of the property in excess of the debt secured by the property) in the mortgaged property. This article tests these views by gathering new data on the fairness and efficiency of the foreclosure process. Based on the data collected (which confirms some assumptions but disproves others), the author proposes a reform of the foreclosure process to promote the interest of both lenders and borrowers. …

Moving From Colonias To Comunidades: A Proposal For New Mexico To Revisit The Installment Land Contract Debate, Elizabeth M. Provencio Jan 1997

Moving From Colonias To Comunidades: A Proposal For New Mexico To Revisit The Installment Land Contract Debate, Elizabeth M. Provencio

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

Communities of Mexican Americans in the Southwest, known as colonias, have provided many low-income buyers with affordable opportunities. Affordability, however, comes at a high price for the colonias residents. Most of the buyers live in colonias pursuant to installment land contracts, devices which allow buyers to spread the purchase price of property over a number of years but leave them without legal title or equity under New Mexico law. The buyers sacrifice their legal rights to "own" small, unimproved lots of land in developments that are often without electricity, gas, a sewage system, and indoor plumbing. The author argues …

Mortgaging The American Dream: A Critical Evaluation Of The Federal Government's Promotion Of Home Equity Financing, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers Jan 1994

Mortgaging The American Dream: A Critical Evaluation Of The Federal Government's Promotion Of Home Equity Financing, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

In this Article, I advocate elimination of federal promotion of home equity financing, recommending that the federal government permit home equity financing without encouraging it. In Part Il of this Article, I discuss some of the problems caused by federal promotion of home equity financing. While home equity loans carry a risk to the borrowers of losing their homes, homeowners cannot properly assess this risk due to their tendency to underestimate the probability of default and foreclosure. Homeowners who do lose their homes to foreclosure may be devastated, both financially and psychologically. Despite the risks of a home equity loan, …

The Public Housing Tenancy: Variation On The Common Law That Give Security Of Tenure And Control, Shelby D. Green

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Part II of this Article traces the history of federally funded housing programs and describes the various strategies employed. Part III discusses the recent changes in modern private lease law and recounts the basic rights and obligations of the landlord and tenant, which define and govern the rights of low-income families under …


Urban Revitalization And Community Finance: An Introduction, Peter R. Pitegoff Jan 1994

Urban Revitalization And Community Finance: An Introduction, Peter R. Pitegoff

Faculty Publications

"In his 1933 poem Burn the Cities, Nathanael West, the iconoclastic American novelist and urban radical, portrays the city as a focal point of discontent and of anguish for the world's predicament.2 From Jerusalem to Paris and finally to London, the poem winds through distressing urban imagery with scant opportunity for escape. The implicit modicum of hope is an overthrow of the present order. From older cities abroad, West imports an apocalyptic vision of cities at home."

Reverse Mortgages: A Financial Planning Device For The Elderly, 1 Elder L.J. 75 (1993), Celeste M. Hammond Jan 1993

Reverse Mortgages: A Financial Planning Device For The Elderly, 1 Elder L.J. 75 (1993), Celeste M. Hammond

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

An analysis of the merits of reverse mortgages from individual and public policy perspectives is the subject of Professor Hammond's article. She argues that the elderly's typical "house rich, but cash poor" problem warrants approval of a method which allows the elderly to tap their home equity for income purposes while allowing them to remain in their homes. Professor Hammond analyzes other means for tapping equity and finds each lacking in its ability to accomplish the stated goal. She also describes the three types of reverse mortgages currently available. Finally, Professor Hammond sets forth a list of legal issues that …
