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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The courts may differ with the legislature as to the wisdom and propriety of a particular enactment as a means of accomplishing a particular end, but as long as there are considerations of public health, safety, morals, or general welfare which the legislative body may have had in mind, which have justified the regulation, it must be assumed by the court that the legislative body had those considerations in mind and that those considerations did justify the regulation.... [W]hen the necessity or propriety of an enactment [is] a question upon which reasonable minds might differ, the propriety and necessity of such enactment [is] a matter of legislative determination.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“As we stated in the beginning ... In re Kelso, supra , did not involve a zoning ordinance, however Miller v. Board of Public Works, 195 Cal. 477 [ 234 P. 381 , 38 A.L.R. 1479 ], did. Therefore in the very beginning of that case, on page 483, the court quoted the provisions of the enabling act of 1917 which authorized the enactment of zoning ordinances.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The petitioner cites and relies on In re Kelso ... and In re Throop. ... We think neither case is pertinent because neither case involved a zoning ordinance. He also cites and relies on People v. Hawley . ... That case is more nearly in point but it is to be distinguished in its facts.”
