A developer himself endorsed radical change in property rights concepts

Evidence

In a 1973 report illustrated with photographs of new housing developments, Time quoted two members of The Use of Land task force to suggest the force of the challenge. Conservationist Laurance Rockefeller told the magazine that land-use planning was essential to environmental quality and good urban growth, “and to this end, the public good must transcend individual property rights.” Developer James Rouse agreed: “We are in the midst of the most rapid, radical change in the concept of property rights in our history. It’s good. There may be excesses, but in a great rush our society is saying that we won’t squander the land any more.” — Adam Rome, The Bulldozer in the Countryside, 966
