Pesky zoning and goddamn nimbys are the reason the SF housing market is such utter horseshite for normies.

The elimination of zoning has its place but as uje, your mileage may vary.

I have no strong feelings on this matter, but why is everyone so excited that SCOTUS ruled to allow bringing these cases first in federal court?

It seems to me that state courts should handle cases against state and local governments by their own citizens and that the federal courts should handle similar claims against the federal government. There is a certain symmetry to that arrangement.

Um, probably because the right being infringed upon is conferred by the U.S. constitution.

I’m a States rights fan but this makes sense as the right to private property ownership is in the Bill of Rights...therefore a federal matter.

Also having a state court rule against a state law ...and all the politics that entails...is probably one of the reasons this thievery continues.

Signed on to the civil asset forfeiture case because they know it's sexy. They showed how they really feel with their dissent in this case.

oh, it falls under “federal question” jurisdiction, clearly. That was not my question. I was just curious why so many poster seem excited at the prospect of bypassing the state courts.

It just seems an odd issue for getting people excited.

Because this is a federal matter. It should never have been placed in the hands of the states. When a state abuses its power against the Constitution, we should be able to immediately go to federal courts for relief, not wait until all appeals have gone through state courts before even getting the chance to go to federal court all while knowing how the state will rule from the very start. Most people cannot afford that. It is an undue burden.

Nope. You can’t dissent from this ruling and be a Liberal. Liberals are for freedom and permissiveness. Hear Justices are the Authortarian members of the court.

Kagan's dissent is among the shittiest dissents I've ever read. She's not qualified to sit on the Supreme Court.

Excited? Well, I don't know that I'm excited but I 100% support being able to go right to the fed when the question is literally DIRECTLY related to the Bill of Rights.

It seems absurd to have to basically go bankrupt hiring lawyers to go through YEARS before even getting to the REAL deciders..............go bankrupt doing this all because the state took your shite in a questionable manner.

Finally, there will be an ancillary benefit to this.

Localities have often banked upon the leverage created by the fact you pretty much had to mortgage your life to fight them. They USED it to steal from you.

They'll likely be a LOT less capricious with YOUR property now that their leverage has been severely weakened.

Japan handles zoning on national level, not at the local level like we do. That's why housing in Tokyo is much cheaper than it is in NYC. Wish we would adopt that policy.

Other than not wanting to break a supreme court precedent, I don't really get the argument against this ruling. I know that was Kagan's big issue, but are there others?

Any ruling giving more rights to private property owners is a win in my book.
