## Opinion text

HUTCHINSON, Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion. That opinion implicitly recognizes the important distinction in exclusionary zoning cases, between equal protection which is applicable when people are being excluded and substantive due process which is applicable when, as in the instant case, the rights of landowners are being affected.
