Armen A. Alchian on Competition - Dictionary of Arguments

Henderson I 21
Competition/property rights/Alchian/Henderson/Globerman: (…) doesn't the owner of [a] new restaurant harm the incumbent restaurant's owner simply by competing for customers? Likely so, although Alchian argues that this apparent intrusion on the incumbent owner's property right is legitimate. Although private property rights protect private property from physical interference, no immunity is implied for the commercial value of anyone's property.
Henderson I 22
No one should expect the profits or other benefits he receives from his property to be protected from other peoples' use of their own private property when the latter usage does not physically limit the former's use of his or her private property.
>Property rights/Alchian
