From The Great Depression To The Great Recession: On The Failure Of Regulation In The Mortgage Market, Dov Solomon
Journal of Legislation
People tend to attribute the outbreak of the 2008 financial crisis to deregulation. This article challenges this view and presents a unique perspective of the crisis as in fact rooted in the way the residential mortgage market is regulated. Focusing on non-recourse mortgage legislation, which is a unique feature of the US mortgage market dating back to the period following the Great Depression, the article analyzes the contribution of this legislation to the onset of the Great Recession. The discussion shows how regulation that was enacted in response to a major economic crisis not only failed to prevent a large-scale …

Micro-Housing In Seattle: A Case For Community Participation In Novel Land Use Decisions, Patrick Carter
Seattle University Law Review
Rather than relying solely on the formal interpretations of government regulators invited by the structure of local zoning ordinances, the City of Seattle should adopt a process that invites community-based mediation and problem-solving when a significant shift in housing density is contemplated in a developer’s proposal. Greater resident participation in development projects allows the City of Seattle to better support those residents in their reliance interests arising from zoning ordinances while simultaneously furthering the policies that underpin urban zoning. This is especially true when such development projects raise the possibility of substantial impacts on the character of a community or …

Distinguishing Households From Families, Katharine B. Silbaugh
Faculty Scholarship
The study of the relationship between all families, whether marital or non-marital, and households, is underdeveloped, despite extensive study of the mismatch between family law, which is still focused on marriage and parenthood, and family practices. Often, in an effort to update the discourse, discussions of non-marital families seem to deploy households or living arrangements as a substitute classification in the place of the old marital family. This Article argues that we need to resist the tendency to substitute the idea of “household” when the boundaries of legal family fail us, because households are not necessarily familial, and because core …

A World Class Solution: How Implementing Class Action Lawsuits In Spain Could Help Remedy The Spanish Housing Crisis, David Flanzer
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The note argues that implementing class action lawsuits in Spain could provide a viable solution to address the country's housing crisis, exacerbated by predatory lending practices and high eviction rates. By adopting a U.S.-style opt-out class action system, Spain could enable affected homeowners to challenge unfair mortgage terms collectively, potentially decreasing evictions and deterring future predatory practices.

Whither Workforce Housing?, Matthew J. Parlow
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The last forty years have marked a dynamic era in affordable housing. During this time, affordable housing shifted from being largely government-owned to privately-owned, though certainly supported by government efforts. This evolution thus marked a distinct switch from a supply-side approach to a demand-side approach to affordable housing. As states and localities adapted to this paradigm shift, some high-priced metropolitan regions discovered that their housing markets were squeezing out middle-income service workers, such as police officers and teachers. In response, many localities—and some states—adopted various laws and policies to spur the creation of workforce housing: that is, moderately-priced housing that …
