• Planning Magazine, American Planning Association : <br /> "The decision didn ' t resolve any of the pressing land-use issues <br /> that have appeared on the Supreme Court docket with increasing <br /> frequency since 1980 . Those questions are likely to come up <br /> again in the new round of legal challenges sure to be generated <br /> by the ruling . " <br /> Gus Bauman, counsel to the National Association of Homebuilders : <br /> "The courts must still determine in each case whether the <br /> property interest is so large and whether enough time has gone by <br /> to raise the taking issue" <br /> Guideon Kanner, Loyola University , Los Angeles , and University <br /> of Los Angeles law school , professor of law: <br /> "A procedural muddle still remains . The Court sent the case back <br /> to the California courts to decide whether the county has other <br /> defenses to the lawsuit or to determine the amount of <br /> compensation . " <br /> • Richard Neely , justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court of <br /> Appeals : <br /> "That is a radically new holding . The Supreme Court is making <br /> political and not legal decisions. No state government in its <br /> right mind would give landowners a right to compensation for the <br /> over-regulation of land" . <br /> Neal R. Pierce, columnist : <br /> "It was Black Tuesday at the Supreme Court June 9 for the open <br /> spaces of America that lie in the path of development <br /> juggernauts . " <br /> Israel Stollman , American Planning Association executive <br /> director : <br /> "Planners had better be more circumspect in the kinds of things <br /> they promote and produce and the regulations they design . " <br /> In reading these comments of others it ' s apparent that the <br /> viewpoints from around the country cover a wide spectrum, ranging <br /> from a--let ' s wait and see what happens--point of view to a <br /> gloomy forecast of much costly litigation . <br /> 4 <br />
