Junk Car Clash on the Rural—Urban Fringe: A Case Study in Local Government Decision Making

Author

  • Leah Greden Mathews

Abstract

This decision case is intended to provide an example of the complexity of local government decision making on the rural—urban fringe. In this case, a county is faced with making a decision about outlawing the existence of junk cars on personal property. Instructors can use this case to introduce topics such as zoning, takings, property rights, local government policy making, and the impact of the community on government decisions. Other issues could be explored, such as the role of culture and stereotypes in policy making, and how growth can impact local culture and lifestyle.
