And what part of the constitution would that be?

It's literally called "the takings clause" in legal scholarship.

That clause says just compensation must be given

Yes it does. Are you saying that's different from what I said?

>Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

I am proposing we take private property, aka second homes, for public use. That clause says we can't do that unless we provide just compensation. In other words, like I said, the government can't take people's stuff without paying them for it.
