California bill to add more housing in single-family neighborhoods blocked

I would be forced to sell many pieces of property I do not want to sell if my ideas were implemented.

I don't think it's my right to own all that. I don't need it. Someone else does. Unfortunately, they can't afford it and I can. Doesn't make it right.

You definitely have rights to your property, it's one of the most important ideas established in the Constitution.

It's also your right to give that property away if you like.

You need to consider the difference between something being right and something being a right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_property

Article 23 of the declaration states: “Every Person has the right to own such private property as meets the essential needs of decent living and helps to maintain the dignity of the individual and of the home.[10]”

-- This is not the case with real estate in America. It isn't dignified.
