Abstract
Abstract Editors Note: This is the first of a two-part commentary on local government liability under the federal Fair Housing Act and under state anti-exclusionary zoning doctrines. This month's commentary discusses the prima facie case, particularly the use of statistical data to prove discriminatory effect under the Fair Housing Act. Next month's commentary will examine the community's burden of justifying its land use controls, the remedies available to plaintiffs who prevail in Fair Housing Act and state anti-exclusionary zoning litigation, and the effect of the Mount Laurel II case on the future of such court challenges. Portions of this commentary were presented in the 1983 Bettman Symposium on Law and Planning, at APAs National Planning Conference in Seattle.
