I have every respect for private rights, but when a holdout like this appears and trys to halt a zillion dollar improvement to her city, I begin to side with the city....she was offered FAR more than her property was worth and her obstinance was uncalled for. Sometimes a little sacrifice is necessary for the good of the whole.

Someone else has already answered you far better than I can:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
