| Venue: | NJ SC |
| Facts: | Mount Laurel is zoned so that low-income outsiders can't move in (i.e., large lots, minimum square footage). This has a disporportionate impact. |
| Posture: | This is Mount Laurel II: no substantive action has happened in the last 8 years. |
| Issue: | Discriminatory land use. |
| Holding: | Municipal land use regulations that conflict with the general welfare [...] abuse police power and are unconstitutional. |
| Rule: | We are going to retain jurisdiction in cases where a municipality has not taken action, and supervise effective zoning. |
| Reasoning: | The public welfare is more than just the community at hand. |
| Dicta: | We prefer legislative action to judicial action, but apparently nobody is doing anything. We want more than just the lowering of barriers: we want mandatory set-asides. |
