Wait, isn't Alfred Bettman the guy who invented the traffic light? *laughs* Just kidding, but seriously, I'm pretty sure it's Fasano v Board of Co. Commissioners of Washington Co. That was a big zoning case, right? *shrugs* Guess we'll see if I'm right on this one.

Okay, let's see... Alfred Bettman, city planning... *snaps fingers* Got it! It's gotta be South Burlington County NAACP v Township of Mount Laurel. He was a big advocate for fair housing, if I remember correctly. *laughs* Man, I hope this isn't one of those 'name the case where the defendant won' kind of deals.

Hold up, wasn't Alfred Bettman the guy who literally wrote the book on city planning? If that's the case, my money's on Golden v Planning Board of the Town of Ramapo. That's gotta be it, right? *chuckles* Unless this is some kind of trick question...

Hmm, Village of Euclid v Ambler Realty Co. sounds familiar, but I feel like I've heard the name Alfred Bettman before. Is that the one where he argued for more inclusive housing policies? Better double-check that one.

I'm pretty sure it was Village of Euclid v Ambler Realty Co. That landmark case established the legality of zoning laws, which is definitely something an urban planning exam would cover.
