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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[[42 U.S.C.] Section 3604(f)(2)] is intended to prohibit restrictive covenants . . . which have the effect of excluding, for example, congregate living arrangements for persons with handicaps. “Another method of making housing unavailable to people with disabilities has been the application or enforcement of otherwise neutral rules and regulations on . . . land use in a manner which discriminates against people with disabilities. . . . These and similar practices would be prohibited.” (Martin v. Constance, supra, 843 F.Supp. at pp. 1325-1326; see also Gov. Code, § 12955.8, subd. (b); Broadmoor, supra, 25 Cal.App.4th at pp. 7-8.)”
