They didn't pay him for the reduced value of his land, did he? I think that's a lot of the problem with these regulations - the government requires people to abide by them, but does not compensate for them.

The wetlands predated his ownership of the land, and I think the regulations also predated that as well too.
Actually, the local village did offer to buy all the wetlands and a bit more [for road access] to turn into parkland, but my grandparents turned the offer down.

So... he bought cheap land and got mad because he didn't think the rules should apply to him. And then he was too proud to admit that he was wrong. Yeah, that sense of entitlement is a big problem with politics in America.
