[Rob Rowley]

Substantive due process is dead for residential landlords. Might makes
right.

No idea if it is unconstitutional or not, but the prohibition on quartering
soldiers is found in a different part of the consitution than the
prohibition on impairing the obligation of contracts.  I remain curious
about the application of the latter theory, however.

Has anyone looked at whether any of the onerous new LL/TT provisions
violate the contract clause under the US Constitution?  I realize state
government can regulate industry, but given how the law is intentionally
imposing on private parties to house the poor without just compensation, it
seems something is amiss.  I thought we can’t be forced to house solders;
what’s the difference here?
