Re:California's DOT Admits That More Roads Mean More Traffic by jerf on Monday November 23, 2015 @11:04AM (#10615302)
There are a ton of stories about people holding out for more money from developers trying to buy up swathes of land. Some of them hold out for so much (including the effective infinity of "simply will not sell") that it actually ends up more practical to build around them. This is the extreme, but here's some pictures of the results of that sort of thing: https://www.google.com/search?q=eminent+domain+holdouts

I'll say again those are the extremes, but it's a common local- or regional-interest story to read about someone holding out for more money because they're the last parcel needed for some development or something. Usually it's an easy "little guy sticking it to The Man" story for the local news human interest segments.
