This year's fifth edition of Breakthroughs has just been
posted on the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse (RBC)
website. In this
issue archives.huduser.gov/rbc/archives/newsletter/vol5Iss5more.html,
you'll see the results of Florida's debate on regulating
impact fees, and how local governments are handling
NIMBYism, home equity loss, and development regulation.
 
Check the September Breakthroughs to see...
 
o How legal cases in New Jersey, North Carolina
and California had an impact on the local
government's authority to regulate development;
 
o How California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and
Oregon are taking action to combat NIMBYism;
 
o How local governments are implementing equity
protection plans; and
 
o An update of the Florida Task Force's
recommendations to the state legislature for
increasing state oversight on local imposition
of impact fees.
