In the West we've just had a year and a half of thinking like this though. Perhaps in some cases it's okay to care less about what individuals and businesses want if there is a clear societal good. I'm a property owner and I strongly believe in property rights, but the right (and legitimacy) of an individual owning and occupying land for their own personal interests when land is limited commodity which we all need access to is questionable to me. Just saying because it sounds like you're framing this in a negative way, but I'm not sure it is. IMO the West probably respects the right an individual has to land a little too much.
