You may want to pick a better hero. From your reference:
In 1997, the Docheff family planned to expand their business to include a concrete batch plant and were buying up the land around their current lot, hoping to lease the remaining 23 parcels to small manufacturers.[1] They were informed by the town planning commission that they needed a "Planned Development Overlay District" permit to construct the plant as part of their Mountain Park Concrete development.[1] The commission also suggested that the Docheff family ask if they could purchase Heemeyer's plot to keep the plant away from the hotels and businesses on route 40.[8]
Heemeyer asked for $250,000 for his property, but later claimed he'd had the lot reappraised and asked for an additional $125,000. The Docheffs managed to collect $350,000, but according to Susan Docheff, Heemeyer again upped his asking price, claiming he'd again had the property appraised at a higher value, this time asking for $450,000.[1][8] This negotiation happened before the rezoning proposal had a public hearing at town hall.[5]
Sounds like your hero was taking advantage of Docheff by continually raising the price of property that the city was forcing Docheff to buy,

Yet one still has to admire his ingenuity and determination to resist bureaucracy.

And what a great results he acheived: demolished some insured property and died, removing himself as an obstacle to their plans. Basically lashed out like a gorilla and got shot by zookepers. Where's the win in that?

You have disdain for this guy? When men or a group of men have had enough, what do you think happens? They all go to court and complain? Regardless or what you think of him, it took balls.

It’s the zoning commission’s fault.
And he punished them so hard! 🤡

The will to live despite all indignities is female. The will to die for a glorious cause is male.
'nuff said.

Too bad Heemeyer did not have a non profit legal group helping him, like a property rights group. They could have helped him drag this out in the legal system to get him in a better position dealing with the zoning board.
