Are we supposed to be impressed by this? I'm rather confused. I believe my spending is more fiscally conservative than this guy. Granted I'm not retired, but I don't think he is either given that he appears to be writing articles to promote his websites...
I submit that there was a time and place for these landowners to consider the public access issue on their land - when they bought the land! I would assume they would have done their research and such factors would have played into the price they paid. To change this now is disingenuous.
