Re: are people really this retarded?
Not retarded, probably just already rich. Not rich enough to buy on of the houses they are planning on building, but rich enough where 1 million is not that appealing.
If I was a retired sales executive that had plenty of money and liked the place I would probably pass also.

“You just can’t buy a way of life,” said Tom Byrne, a 68-year-old retired sales executive from New York who doesn’t want to sell even though he would make a little over $1 million on the trailer and site he bought two years ago for $150,000. “This is my home.”

----, I'd stay too. After getting the mill, the government would take half of it and you'd have enough to buy a shitty house in a neighborhood that was just "ok". You'd never live at the beach again unless you came out of pocket with more of your own money.
Wait, I take it back. I'd sell, take the 500,000 and build a unibomber shack in Montana.

If you are 68 then you don't have much life left anyway. Old people just want to be stable and happy.
My grandma would pass up a million dollars, she wouldn't want to move or have anything to do with the money.
