Housing law sits at the intersection of the Eighth Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, the Takings Clause, and due process. City of Grants Pass v. Johnson's 2024 decision permitted cities to enforce camping bans against unhoused individuals, resolving the circuit split on when homelessness enforcement constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. The Constitutional Housing and Urban Rights Warrior is Volume LXXXII of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series. Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full housing and urban rights constitutional landscape: the Eighth Amendment and homelessness — Grants Pass, the status versus conduct distinction, and the limits of criminalization; exclusionary zoning and equal protection — Arlington Heights's intent requirement, disparate impact after Inclusive Communities, and the FHA's constitutional dimensions; rent control and the Takings Clause — physical occupation versus regulatory taking analysis and Loretto's bright line; public housing due process — the Goldberg tradition applied to housing benefit terminations; and the right to shelter as a constitutional or statutory matter.
