Regulatory Takings After Knick: Total Takings, the Nuisance Exception, and Background Principles Exceptions - David Lee Callies - Bog

Regulatory Takings after Knick summarizes the Supreme Court's recent decision in Knick v. Township of Scott which does away with the state action prong of the Court's former ripeness test and what it means for the law of regulatory taking of property. It emphasizes total takings after Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Commission and the exceptions which permit government to so strictly regulate property as to permit no economically beneficial use of it.
