re: Coral Gables man who refuses to give up property hit with code violations

And OTOH, you can demand way too much to sell and they will find a way around you that still fricks you.


There is a guy in Zachary who tried demanding 3x what was offered for his property when they were going to be widening the highway as part of a development. (IIRC, he was offered about $250-300k AND a house in the new neighborhood going up to replace his on the property)

After that high a demand, they decided that they could just take the edge of his property via eminent domain rather than continue to negotiate with him.

He has had a sign up bitching about it ever since.
