If Thomas Jefferson hadn't replaced "property" with "pursuit of happiness" when he quoted Locke in the Declaration of Independence, we probably wouldn't be in this situation. People who own land should be free to use it as they wish as long as they aren't violating the rights of somebody else. Building an apartment building or a store anywhere you want should be fine but building a factory or power plant that pollutes or an open air stadium to hold concerts and sports events next to somebody's house without their permission wouldn't be. Free use of your own property should be a constitutional right just like free speech, freedom of religion and owning guns are.
