What right in the constitution isn't subject to some form of balancing, that is it's not a right when it becomes "too expensive"?

The Third Amendment.
eta: Few constitutional rights have anything to do with CBA in the generic sense. It's true that the First Amendment, e.g., does not give one the right to make threats, and one could conceptualize this as reflecting some sort of determination that the harms of threats outweigh the benefits. But using the word "expensive" in this broader sense is pretty close to meaningless.
