Land Use Law is an open source, fully editable, all-in-one casebook for a law school course. It is written in a conversational style, with second- and third-year law students in mind. It begins with the nuts and bolts of zoning, planning, and agreements, including both practical education and intellectual foundations. It then shifts to landowner rights, including “takings” and the first amendment. It devotes a lengthy discussion to the controversies over housing affordability and discrimination. Finally, it analyzes policy debates in different regions: cities, suburbs, rural areas, and historic districts.
