Fordham Law Professor Nestor Davidson, faculty director of the Urban Law Center, is quoted in an article discussing how Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is targeting politically blue communities by barring liberal policies.
“If there’s a strong need for state regulation in some areas, go ahead,” said Nestor Davidson, associate dean at Fordham Law School, who has written extensively on urban policy, planning and pre-emptions.
“But I think the idea of home rule is that when there are policies at the local level, you can disagree, but it’s not democratic to say the answer is ‘we’ll take the power away from you to decide what’s good for your community,’ ” Davidson said.
