Dr. Richard Epstein is my favorite never-happen candidate for the Supreme Court. An expert on the “takings” clause of the Fifth Amendment (“nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”), in the linked podcast, he
makes the case that many current zoning restrictions are essentially “takings” and property owners should receive compensation for the lost value of their land. He also discusses the Kelo case and the political economy of the regulation of land.
