There is a guy here in San Francisco that scored big. SFO airport was looking to expand and the surrounding areas are marshes. So enviromental laws require that if the marsh is destroyed another area must be perserved or made into a marsh. Not sure exactly how it worked but in short the airport had to buy this guy's land before they could do their expansion and they paid like 5 times the value of his sliver of land.
