EVST 255: Environmental Politics and Law

Lecture 19 - Land Use Law and Property Rights. The lecture addresses the issue of takings and when the government has the right to seize private property for the public good. The government is required to compensate property owners in some circumstances. Through legal cases, Professor Wargo gives some examples of when compensation is required and why takings are an important management tool for environmental managers. (from oyc.yale.edu)
