Housing dispute.

Housing Dispute: The Pacific Legal Foundation has filed a lawsuit to combat the City of Santa Monica's inclusionary zoning ordinance. The ordinance requires developers building projects with four or more residential units to build some units to be sold below market prices as well. Pacific Legal Foundation, which represents an organization of local apartment building owners, charges that the ordinance violates taking clauses of the state and federal constitutions, which prohibits the governments from taking private property without just compensation. The suit further argues that the cost of the discount housing will be passed onto housing that isn't price controlled, driving up prices for most buyers.
