Haven't you ever heard of a "Private Corp" or a "Family Corp?" Nobody, or nothing is ever limited in doing legitimate business in this nation as long as they follow the law! You're also dead wrong in reality if you really believe a private citizen has a natural right to DO with his property as he wishes!
This article is absolutely correct in EVERY detail! No exceptions! Your comment smacks of the worst kind of Socialistic thinking and as a former elected official most highly involved in "Land Use" regulation there is, I certainly hope you disabuse yourself of these notions as they don't fit the situation and are utterly incorrect.
I'm not challenging you personally, just your mistaken notions. Please don't take offense as I don't even know you, or why you have reached these erroneous conclusions.
The article is profoundly and precisely appropos in every respect, especially in CA!!!
