Urbanists (who culturally & economically are usually pretty left-leaning) & free market public interest lawyers (who culturally are all over the place, but economically are, obvs., not left-leaning) both, rightly, believe that land use & zoning are screwed up. 5/

There’s a question for each group. That for the free market public interest lawyers is why aren’t you suing about it? (Some are, but not many) They’ll tell you it’s because in Euclid v. Amber Realty (1926) the Supreme Court said “you will lose.” And they’re right! Almost . . . 6/

The same was true in other civil rights movements, but that didn’t stop people from suing. One method has been to use state constitutions. I speculate that maybe why that hasn’t happened more on housing issues is b/c of fallout from the Mount Laurel litigation in NJ. 7/

I give some reasons why Mount Laurel shouldn’t mean we don’t have litigation in other states. And, indeed, if things go well perhaps we could even go back to federal courts one of these days. 8/

The question for urbanists is why aren’t you getting together w/ lawyers to encourage this litigation? I think it’s because they’re, understandably, not very familiar w/ the circle of property rights lawyers, like my colleagues at IJ, who do this sort of thing, & our language. 9/

They know about cases like Euclid or Kelo, but don’t “speak property rights public interest law.” And they don’t need to, but they do need to get to know those who do. 10/

So here’s the point of the post & this thread—we need urbanists & free market public interest lawyers to learn from each other about how we can advance through constitutional litigation the civil rights cause of building more housing. 11/

I’m not exactly sure how we do that (maybe we talk to each other on Twitter? A conference? Cocktail hours?), but if the result of it will be constitutional challenges to restrictions on providing housing for people it’ll be time well spent. 12/

I should end by noting I’m very much one of the property rights lawyers, they’re the people I’ve associated w/ for a long time now. But I do know a few urbanists & know we have a lot in common. Learning from them has vastly improved my outlook on land-use policy. 13/

The short answer to your question below is that
@SonjaTrauss and I co-founded@YIMBY_Law, which sues cities all the time. I don't think constitutional property-rights suits are the most effective approach to achieving our goals.https://twitter.com/IJSanders/status/1181278308803047425?s=20 …Brian Hanlon 🥑 je dodan/na,

Yes, you guys do great work! & as I say in my post, using statutory challenges is important. My point is that, long-term, civil rights movements achieve the most change thru constitutional litigation. I could be wrong, but it's my read of the history.
