| | If the property has multiple violations, the City Attorney would also help to decide whether a public nuisance action could be proven in Court and should be filed. | | | Notice would be sent to the property owner (and tenants in the case of a rental) when the city begins the process of monitoring a property as a possible public nuisance. | | | Yes, the public nuisance ordinance can be thought of as an "umbrella ordinance" which is applied in addition to the existing ordinances about the individual violations. |

| | Reconstructing the Public Domain |
| | When in the late nineteenth century the terms "public property" and "common property" came to be replaced by the phrase "public domain," the door was opened to manipulating the meaning of the distinctions between being copyrightable or not, or between being in copyright or out of it. | | | We are beginning to realize that the public domain must be understood as an entity having both legal warrant to exist and the ability to grant jurisdiction over its contents to some kind of protective trust dedicated to serving and protecting the public good. | | | Both the state of copyright and the state of being in the public domain must be understood as bearing the weight of both balanced and balanceable elements of a rights system that must be recognized as a necessary and mutual dependency – a symbiotic brotherhood, as it were. |

| | The Right to Private Property by Tibor R. Machan - Essay |
| | Private property rights provide the proper limits against those who would fail to act responsibly, while also promoting public welfare resulting from those who do act responsibly while exercising their rights. | | | The right to private property would have no place in such a system, for such a right, properly protected, would make it possible for wealth to be spent on goals other than giving it to the poor—according to Unger, a violation of not just a moral but ideally a legal imperative. | | | The right to private property, whether it be a toothbrush or a factory, authorizes persons to use what they own as they see fit, without regard for other persons. |

| | Protecting Private Property Rights from Regulatory Takings |
| | But second, and more immediately, Congress needs also to breathe new life into the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause, making it clear to a Court too encumbered by its past that the clause means precisely what it says when it prohibits government from taking private property for public use without just compensation. | | | That means that property owners, both large and small, bear the full costs of the public goods the regulations bring about, when in all fairness those costs should be borne by the public that orders those goods in the first place. | | | When "property" means simply the underlying estate, however, then government can take all the uses that go with the property-- leaving the owner with the empty shell of ownership--and get out from under the compensation requirement. |
