• holding that there was no injury sufficient for organizational standing where the resource expenditures were litigation-related or were no different than the organizations’ ongoing lobbying activities
• holding that performing studies, lobbying, preparing for litigation, and diverting time does not “concretely and perceptibly impair[ ]” an organization's activities as required by Havens
• ruling that plaintiff lacked standing in part because at trial it failed to specify what other specific projects it had to put on hold to respond to defendant's alleged discriminatory ordinance
• holding that an organization's alleged injury, examining developments in local zoning ordinances, was \simply a setback to the organization's abstract social interests\ and not a diversion of resources sufficient to show a concrete injury
• holding that performing studies, lobbying, pre- paring for litigation, and diverting time does not “concretely and perceptibly impair[]” an organization’s activities as required by Havens (quoting Havens, 455 U.S. at 379)
• explaining that the plaintiffs had apparently abandoned their associational-standing claim by failing to invoke it when directly questioned at oral argument
