So I'll buy your house, include some cash, and the rest of the stuff we'll work out when and if we can figure it out, sometime in the future, perhaps. Deal? What? No deal? The audacity of "you people"!
We're closer now than ever. I want to see the ring road as much as the next guy, but when you're this close to a deal, turning the screw isn't going help at all. They'll walk away, wait for people to pressure their local officials to reopen negotiations, at which time everything starts from the ground up but at a higher price because the need for the land will be greater than ever.

Actually, it was "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z. There may be a slight technicality with Z right now, but we'll work around that in the unlikely event there are problems."
They're going to walk away anyway. They have for decades. And like the idiots we are, we'll just keep sweetening the pot. We're long past the point where we should have given up on this farce. Cut through the Weaselhead and be done with it. It was man made, and man can remake it elsewhere.
