If you set out to build a home or a business in America today, you’ll likely face a labyrinth of local land-use restrictions dictating what you can build and where.
But that wasn’t always the case—and the limits of that power are far from settled.
On Tuesday, July 7, Pacific Legal Foundation is hosting a virtual panel discussion examining two landmark Supreme Court decisions—Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. and Nectow v. City of Cambridge—that have shaped American cities for the past century.
You’ll hear directly from PLF clients Jason and Elizabeth Riddick, who fought these overreaching restrictions—and won—alongside leading academics and policy experts who’ll trace how the Court’s decisions still shape nearly every aspect of American life, from housing supply to economic development.
Attendees will come away understanding:
- How Euclid opened the door to the sweeping land-use regulation now found in nearly every American city.
- How the guardrails Nectow established have gone largely unenforced ever since.
- How property owners are fighting back in courtrooms and state capitals today and winning.
