TLDR

Ronnie and Terry Urbanczyk’s were paid 25 million to turn their land into a state park, instead of 125 million to turn it into a bunch of residential properties.

So they rejected big millions off still quite big millions. Also the surrounding community opposed the original deal.
- Still, that a huge deal for the park, especially if property abuts the park.
  
  yeah but housing is so scare. im conflicted.
