The article implies they got 13 out of 23 agreements to sell. The other 10 didn't respond. They could just be holding out. Sounds like they were offering reasonable deals.

Maybe a better idea, since DC is already so congested one can hardly move around the place, would be to confiscate some of that Amish Farmland just north of the city and build the Ballpark there! It wouldn't be too far to commute for a game of ball. Hell, you guys have had possession of all that rich farmland as long as I can remember and it could be put to far better revenue use anyways. I'm sure you'll get a good deal. Reap what you sow kinda thing. A true believer wouldn't argue! Or does your rule only apply to others? Blackbird.

For the record, I would adore it if somebody would pay me almost three times market value for my home. (See my next post.) I would flip out. Send the check RIGHT NOW!

Now, you are making an ass out of yourself on this, as I am not actually an Amish person posting using a computer. To address your implied point, however, the Amish readily sell farmland, although the stadium in Lancaster was recently built in the city on some old warehouse land.
