Will I settle for less from the gooberman ? Never!
I have spent years planting apple trees ,building ponds & cutting down poor quality trees.I have created a wildlife wonderland that I enjoy every day.
When I put it for sale I hope to find a man that like myself busted their a$$ @ work so they could enjoy a life in the woods as I have.My Land is worth a lot as housing units but its worth alot more as a woodland retreat.
So your goal is to preserve the land that you have worked so hard to create, but if someone will offer you more than the state and you know full well their plan is to rip out all those trees you've planted and put up houses, you will sell to the private bidder for more $$$?
