PROPERTY VERSUS HUMAN RIGHTS
By RICK MARKS Managing Editor
(This is lhe fourth in a series on Proposition 14)
The underlying argument involved in Proposition 14 is property rights vs. human rights.
More specifically, whether the right to do with one’s property—that is, sell, lease or rent it—is an absolute right, inviolate of state action: or whether the right to obtain property is more important on the moral basis of human dignity and human rights.
Supporters of the former concede that the state does have the right to establish property limitations when the general welfare is involved, such as zoning laws and sanitary regulations.
They contend, however, that to infringe upon an individual’s right to dispose of his property as he so chooses is a violation of a sacred right, a right upon which our form of civilization is based.
This line of reasoning: is most clearly and profoundly expressed by the National Association of Real Estate Boards (NAREBl in its 1362 declaration, “Property Owners’ Bill of Rights.”
The NAREB stated that the property owner has ten explicit rights. (1) “The right of privacy,” 12) “The right to choose his own friends,” (3) “The right to own and enjov property according to his own dictates,” and (4) “The right to occupy and dispose of property without governmental interference in accordance with the dictates of his conscience.”
The declaration, in the area of “Laws of Special Privilege,” specifies, (5) “The right of all equally to enjoy property without interference by laws giving special privilege to any group or groups,” (6) “The right to maintain what in his opinion, are congenial surroundings for tenants,” (7) “The right to contract with a real estate broker
or other representative of his choice and to authorize him to act for him according to his instructions,” (8) “The right to determine the acceptability and desirability of any prospective buyer or tenant of his property,” (9) “The right of every American to choose who in his opinion are congenial tenants in any property he owns — to maintain the stability and security of his income.” and (10) “The right to enjoy the freedom to accept, reject, negotiate, or not negotiate with others.”
In short, they argue that the right to sell eclipses the right to buy, and that if a human problem is involved (the racial ghetto, inferior school, social depredation) in attempting legislative recrification, an equal, if not greater abuse is being created.
This position is attacked as a myth, both morally and legallv, by those against Proposition 14.
The courts, they point out. have ruled again and again that when personal property rights conflict with the public interest they must be relin-
quished. And the courts have ruled that discrimination on the basic of race, creed or national© origin is against the public interest.
Further, they refer to court rulings in this area to explode what they consider the “property rights myth.” In the Supreme Court case. Marsh vs. Alabama, for instance, the court ruled that “such rights as freedom of press and religion occupy a preferred position over property rights.”
The human rights argument was presented elegantly earlier this year before the California Supreme Court by attorneys attempting to ban Proposition 14 from the election ballot.
One “friend-of-the-court” brief stated, in part: “The property owner now has a right to choose a buyer or renter on rational grounds—all that the Rumford Act Law does is to bid him to be color blind in the exercise of that right and to select the best qualified bidder.”
