Description
In 1986, petitioner David H. Lucas paid $975,000 for two residential lots on the Isle of Palms in Charleston County, South Carolina, on which he intended to build single- family homes. In 1988, however, the South Carolina Legislature enacted the Beachfront Management Act, S.C. Code ? 48-39-250 et seq. (Su1990) (Act), which had the direct effect of barring petitioner from erecting any permanent habitable structures on his two parcels. See ? 48-39- 290(A). A state trial court found that this prohibition rendered Lucass parcels "valueless." Ato Pet. for Cert. 37. This case requires us to decide whether the Acts dramatic effect on the economic value of Lucass lots accomplished a taking of private property under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments requiring the payment of "just compensation." U.S. Const., Amdt. 5.
