The Take on Takings

Abstract

Abstract The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council, Inc. v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 122 S. Ct. 1465, 2002 U.S. LEXIS 3028 (2002) is the latest1, but certainly not the final, word in the takings debate. We've invited nine land-use attorneys with a wide range of viewpoints to share their insights, musings, and (in some cases) frustrations about the Tahoe-Sierra decision. From the advocate for the Tahoe landowners (Michael M. Berger) to the General Counsel for the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (John Marshall), we have a diversity of opinions that illustrate the complexity of the issue. There is no easy answer to the question: “When does a regulation go too far?”
