Maybe my reading comprehension is shit, but based on the article it sounds like the family already owned the land. They could have just designated it as a preserve… but it was appraised at 11 million bucks. So it was this families wish that this be designated as a preserve, but ya know, they also had the wish for millions of dollars. So great idea, let’s have Pulte group come in and hold a 14 million dollar gun to everyone’s heads, then we’ll shake down donors and the city for 10 million bucks.

Idk man, at the very least that family doesn’t deserve to have their name on it. If they donated it, sure, it’s your legacy. Otherwise it was just a real estate transaction so take your money and go.
