Abstract

LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN RECENT YEARS HAVE INCREASINGLY SOUGHT TO CURB POPULATION GROWTH THROUGH NEW ZONING TECHNIQUES. THESE EFFORTS HAVE SPARKED CHALLENGES TO THE LEGAL PERMISSIBILITY F GROWTH REGULATION. THIS ESSAY ASSES THE LEGALLY BASED OBJECTIONS AND SUGGESTS THE COURTS ARE BEST EQUIPPED TO REVIEW THE PROCESS BY WHICH SUCH SCHEMES ARE ADOPTED BUT NOT THEIR SUBSTANCE.
