    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    This Article examines the Elmwood experiment, explores its legal ramifications, compares and contrasts land use regulations with rent and eviction controls as regulatory policies, and discusses the national significance of the Elmwood experiment. Berkeley is the only American city that currently has adopted commercial rent stabilization and it is the only American city that has ever enacted rent and eviction controls that apply only to a single neighborhood
