Summary

This quote implies that while it is acceptable for the government to impose regulations on property, there is a limit to how far these regulations can go. If the regulations surpass this limit and excessively restrict the rights of property owners, it can be seen as a violation of their rights and considered a "taking" by the government. This suggests that there should be a balance between regulating property for public purposes and respecting the rights of individual property owners.
