Yeah - I moved to Fraser (next town over) a year-ish after Marv’s wild ride. Always interesting to see this come up.

IIRC, the story was much more complex than this article paints it (& much more sympathetic to Marv). There were apparently some blatant conflicts of interest with the zoning committee, which painted a picture of a corrupt town government. Additionally, due to the changes, his business had virtually no access, meaning that he lost the livelihood he had worked years to build. IOW, they really painted him into a corner, and left even his shop’s land/building value worthless.

By all means, what he did was crazy. But most of us who knew the town wished both sides had been a little more yielding. Either way, always interesting to see it come up.
