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.

Humans have changed something like 70% of the earth for housing, business , etc. Yeah, Texas is growing, yeah people need places to live. But we're not the only species that needs room to live either.
