    The development company is suing everybody, including the children of the dead guy who sold her the land, and she’s the unreasonable party?

      I’m not saying that she’s the only unreasonable party and the company itself is definitely being unreasonable as well, I just definitely don’t think she’s helping the matter at all. Especially since this likely will be brought up in the hearing

        I think her position is eminently reasonable: You (the development company) have damaged my land, deprived me of the use of it by putting a house in my way, created squatter problems for me, and stuck me with a huge tax bill. Fix it.

        If she doesn’t want the house on that property, that is her right. If she doesn’t want the adjacent property, that is also her right.

        The “she just wants a payday” excuse is an old one, and it’s a cover for companies to do bad things and get away with it. The only recourse our legal system gives is often monetary. Take that away with “they just want a payday” and now there is no recourse at all.
