[@thomasjoseph5876]

And now it could bankrupt the development company from the delays. I would say she is winning and in the end, it will cost the developer literally millions of dollars. If I were an investor in this development, I would be turning on the developer and suing him for ALL of my investment and costs for starting the development without previously purchasing ALL of the land needed. Usually, when a developer does it this way, they are unscrupulous in their dealings and should be avoided at all costs. The longer this goes on, the more chances of that happening. In reality, there will be people involved with this development who will go broke and/or could end up dying mysteriously or going missing because not all of the investors are legit people. These are notoriously great ways to "launder" dirty money. My wife and I invest in numerous developments all around the world every year. We have been involved in deals with Drug Cartels, Russian Mob, etc. While we have no direct connection to them, it is disturbing nonetheless that our money is tied up with their money in different developments. Most of all of our developments are Commercial in nature and often are in areas of blight in larger cities where old industrial buildings are torn down and replaced with our Commercial buildings, usually Office Towers. With the city stopping the development process, the developer will either have to make some very large and expensive changes to his plans or if they are lucky they will end up purchasing this woman's property at such a large amount of money that it will more than likely cripple the development and stop it or scale it down tremendously.

@@devinstallworth1558 Where she lives, it's the middle of nowhere and the property isn't worth anything. When the developer puts expensive houses around hers, it will be worth something but she probably won't be able to pay the increased taxes. She lost that home when all her neighbors cashed in and she refused so all that's left is waiting for her to sell it before she loses it from either imminent domain or because she can't afford the higher taxes she's going to be hit with. If her neighbors had banded together with her, they could have all kept the land, but clearly being the last holdout leaves her with only the court of public sentiment on her side, and only as long as the media covers it. Being that this is a minor feel good story, it's likely to never be reported on again and in a year or two she won't own the property.

If those 15 want to sell and the remaining 5 don't, they can get a court order to sell as the majority. Then the developers can purchase the land. Heirs law dilutes ownership with every generation.

They tried to do this with my mom’s piano teacher. She got her land recognized as a historical heritage site (since it was the very first house built in the city.) Now even though she passed away, they can’t build anything on the land and there’s a committee working to preserve it.

Some might say she is being greedy as well. She is not allowing other people outside her family should be allowed to own a home in that area, not just her land. Not saying it's right or wrong, just saying it's not clear cut that she should have the power to prevent development on land that's not hers.

Her ansestors will sell it later. It happens in this area all the time. When there are 50 ansestors living in poverty, they end up selling.

What makes you think they are hiding anything? The development has already been put through the entire planning process, properties have been acquired, permits issued, construction has started and she doesn't want to sell her property. What's hidden?
