Emphasizing the justice in our name, IJ recently launched a new project to fight back against zoning laws, Zoning Justice. We’ve been challenging overreaching zoning for years, but there’s now a new emphasis on how it inhibits people from providing housing and pursuing the American Dream. Joining us to talk about this new venture are the project’s leader Ari Bargil and IJ attorney Joe Gay. Joe tells us about some recent zoning reforms in Montana and an amicus brief he filed in the state’s supreme court supporting them. It recounts the history—and harms—of zoning and how allowing everyone to do more with their property doesn’t violate anyone’s constitutional rights. Then Ari tells us of an all-too-typical zoning dispute in Philadelphia where the neighborhood opposition to an attempt to rehab some apartments was anything but brotherly.
