Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid: The United States Supreme Court’s Latest Pronouncement on Unconstitutional Takings

In Hassid, the Court held that a California regulation that provided union organizers limited access to agricultural worksites was a per se taking based upon the proposition that any governmental grant of physical access, no matter how time-limited or functionally constrained, constitutes a per se unless one of the Court’s articulated exceptions applies. A review of the Hassid decision, which acts both as a primer on takings law under the 5th Amendment, as well as a potential expansion of the takings doctrine as to what constitutes a physical taking of real property in a per se taking.

We Are Family, or Are We?

For decades, municipal zoning ordinances have routinely utilized “family” in describing zoning districts and land uses, but the “family” envisioned in the 1950’s or 1960’s is functionally different than what we may consider a “family” in 2022. Examine the legally evolving definition of “family” and practical implications in current municipal land use law.
