Taken advantage of the practice essays and self-assessing and going through the rubric and say it in this way and if you didn’t, going back and studying and trying to write it out again. Rubrics are unique and tell you the fastest way to explain the rules. A whole lot of words to say what I have said in less than a paragraph on a rubric. Rubrics help you succinctly state what you need to. !!

Q

Penn Central Balancing Test:
(3) The extent to which the regulation interferes with distinct investment-backed expectations.

What does this mean?

A

How is the regulation going to impact future development? Are we discouraging this by allowing this governmental act to go uncompensated. How does it affect this particular community? New York city – land preservation act – may think about it from standpoint of the plaintiff. Palazzolo knew they couldn’t build there when they acquired the property, but they wanted to complain about it later. Did you have an expectation that you could build there if the law said you couldn’t probably not. Big picture community as a whole or zoom in standpoint of the plaintiff. Test used in 99% of the taking’s cases.

Q

Property ownership in terms of time. Live to 118. Easier to own land as an adult. Pretended we can own property for 100 years. The offending M took 2 and ½ years from these people but what is left the rest of the period of time they can own the property 971/2 years left. Temporal aspect – court in Tahoe – property as a whole analysis – we cannot separate the two and a half years from the big, long period of time that you are going to own the property. !!

A

!!

60
Q

A lot of people buy land and sit on it because it is easier to buy land when working but they keep it vacant because they are going to build on it when they retire.

People are mad and they are like you took 100% of my rights to develop this land during the moratorium.
Not how the property as a whole analysis works. Better argument would have been Penn central – the test used in 99% of the taking’s cases in America, maybe use that one.
!!

A

!!

61
Q

Not a Lucas taking because they have not lost 100%. At the end of the time period the M will go away, and you can build on it again… could you sell that property? Not retiring for at least 25 years. Hunter graduates and gets a high paying job and I own property on lake Tahoe, and I am way closer to retirement, and I say I want to retire in the next 2 and ½ years wouldn’t I be better off to sell the property and move somewhere else when I retire. Will you buy my lake Tahoe property if you cannot build on it – yes, the property still has value. Maybe my lot is worth 900K. sell it for 600K and you say good deal you don’t care that you can’t build on because you were not going to anyway. The Lucas argument was flawed because it still has value and then you can do whatever you want to with it.

Be extra sure with a Lucas taking consider property as a whole analysis at the same time. Defeats the plaintiff’s claims here in the Tahoe case. Not a categorical taking under Lucas. Might have been a Penn central taking but that is not what they sued under. !!
