Wasn't this guy offered several million dollars for the property?

The 67-year-old Florida native homesteaded the rustic property in 1976. Using propane and a gas-powered generator, he lives in a tiny wood frame home with his seven-year-old son. Despite talk of offers of up to $5 million, Hardy says he has no plans to sell his property for any price.

I dont care how old I am. Take the $4 million, keep 1 million, give the 3 million left over to the Southern Baptist Missionary organization... Egads...would they allow my money to be used that way? < /sarcasm>

"This guy" is digging four catfish ponds for future community use. The county takes fill out for $1 per yard. They take several thousand yards out a week from his 160 acres. Do the math, if you're capable.

And no he wasn't offered "several million". TonyWojo and I visited him personally and the highest offer he received was 1.2 million. We saw the paperwork.

Any other useless, unhelpful or loaded questions?

After meeting with Mr. Hardy the 5 Million dollar offer is not a real offer. What Jesse showed me is an offer on paper of 1.7 million. That is roughly $10,625.00 an acre. Now if you check real estate values in the Naples area you will find that is well below average market value.

Not that the money should be an issue. If someone does not want to sell there property after living on it for 27 years they should not have to.

Despite talk of offers of up to $5 million

Note: "talk" of up to $5 million. "talk" is cheap, deeds are all that matter. The point of this thread is not amounts of money but the loony greenie weenies that are trampling the rights of an individual (in this case a veteran).

Ah yes....the class distinction over principle arguement. This is a beloved tool of the extreme left. You've been outed dude!
