Interesting. it occurs to me also that a Tim May-based approach may work: Lay out landmines and boobytraps all over the place, and then forget where you put 'em. No one's really going to want to drive a bulldozer over that! -TD

Hey...can some clever Cypherpunk think of a nice poison pill for ED? Theoretically, something like that is possible, but my only ideas aren't so hot. For instance, and elderly couple could sow some form of radioactive substance into their grounds, in quantities that would take longer than their life expectancy to kill them.
Of course, a cleanup might be possible, but that would theoretically wack out the cost structures.
There might be other less drastic measures that can be taken, however, such as finding a way to boost up the property costs so that the developers lose interest or perhaps even creating a very hard-to-find "landlord" that is collecting vast sums (on paper) for the rent of the property.
These are crummy ideas, so relax. But I suspect something is possible.

1. Make your property a habitat for endangered species; there are plenty of plants, bugs, and small animals that qualify.
Getting them there in the first place is probably illegal, but once they're established, no development which destroys their habitat is legal, generally speaking.
2. Similarly, and even simpler, turn strategic portions of your property into wetlands or vernal pools. Similar protections vs development apply.
