Is Property Bad?

I qualify Forster's point of view in My Wood. He states that property "makes [him] feel heavy," and a "restlessness comes over him" when he owns property. He makes it seem like property does that to everyone, no matter what. I agree that property can make people feel "heavy," but I don't necessarily think that it has to have that effect on people. I don't think it is bad to own property if it is not lauded like it is a god. Some people treat their property better than they treat other people; that is not right, but if property is merely property I don't see anything wrong with it.
