"Those with families going back generations didn't choose this, and some of them do, in fact, find guns to their heads with all of the crime problems that didn't exist before urban influence appeared out of nowhere."

Generational inheritance or nostalgia doesn't give you the right to dictate who purchases property. You can, however, vote and enforce laws....or move.

I stay here for spite and act really mean. That's my right!

Assuming you are a Rand fan...

Do Objectivists believe that no monetary transaction can ever be immoral in itself, so long as the cash value equals the return? Specifically, I mean this in reference to "selling out"- such as one's values and heritage.

I suppose the question also applies to anything from spying and treason to civil liability claims for things like murder and manslaughter. If the price is right, then there is no right to complain?
