I'm sympathetic to people living near where they grew up or where there family is at. I live where I live because of family. If it weren't for them, I would have left after college and never looked back.

Cities are inherently expensive. The more people you have wanting to bid up the limited amount of real estate in a city, the more expensive it will get. This pressure could be alleviated with higher density housing, but no one has a right to that.

Likewise, no one has the right to restrict density on property they don't own.

Property owners have actual rights...they are listed explicitly on the deed or easement. Buying a property does not and never will confer the right to restrict other people's decisions of what can and can't be done on their property.

Society may decide on those restrictions together. But it is a bad precedent to give some parts of society more power than others when deciding on those restrictions, and it is in no way "entitled" for a member of society to complain about the results of this trend or want to fix it.
