Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. There exists a continuing housing crisis in this city, with a severe shortage of rental housing and a low vacancy rate, particularly in relation to units which lower income tenants can afford. See D.C.Code § 45-1601(2) (1990 Repl. & 1993 Supp.). 2. The conversion of rental units to condominiums or cooperatives depletes the rental housing stock. See D.C.Code § 45-1601(3) (1990 Repl. & 1993 Supp.). 3. Lower income tenants are affected most severely for post-conversion costs are usually beyond their means, a condition which results in forced displacement, serious overcrowding, and disproportionately high housing costs. See D.C.Code § 45-1601(4) (1990 Repl. & 1993 Supp.). 4. Experience with prior conversion controls has demonstrated that such restrictions have not been sufficiently effective, and tenants who are most directly affected by conversion should be given a voice in the determination whether their rental housing should be converted. See D.C.Code § 45-1601(7) (1990 Repl. & 1993 Supp.). 12”

The Constitution presumes that even improvident legislative decisions will be rectified by the democratic process, and that "judicial intervention is generally unwarranted no matter how unwisely we may think that a political branch has acted." [Citation omitted.] The judiciary cannot encroach on the domain of the popularly elected branches without imperiling our most basic institutions. [Citation omitted.] Indeed, a court "usurps legislative functions when it presumes to adjudge a law void where the repugnancy between the law and the Constitution is not established beyond a reasonable doubt."”
