You forgot alligators ... and that would really be legit ...

You wrestle gators in Florida.

 

Nope, you can't molest them in any manner, or even feed them or Florida Fish and Game will issue you a fine. Unless you have a valid tag and licenses to hunt them. And don't mess with the nice manatees either! Now if Bwana wana hunt Iguana...

No license required. No fine unless you try to relocate them. They are invasive. Kill and eat all you want.

Same with muscovy ducks.

And the Egyptian geese are not migrating. They live here (also invasive) and they are annoying as hell with their incessant honking.

It sounds like the city has been acting poorly in their code enforcement, but at least they didn't do what has happened in many other states and condemn his property via eminent domain on the basis that the alternate planned use would be better for the economy. My guess is that the offer of the other house, the car, and half a million cash was a legit offer, so my sympathy for him for "having" to live with all the inconveniences associated with the situation goes way down. I would think it would be in the hotel's best interests to get on good terms with him, and to provide for exterior maintenance and cleanup just from an eyesore point of view. It would also make sense for them to come to an arrangement for the hotel to acquire the property when he eventually moves or dies. A simple way to do that would be for the hotel to purchase the right of first refusal when the property eventually changes hands. There are a number of ways to do that. One would be in exchange for an upfront cash payment and the right to purchase at the then appraised price. Another would be to purchase it outright now, but with the contract allowing for life tenancy. Others could provide monthly payments to him that are applied to the eventual purchase. There's plenty of opportunity for both parties to craft a deal that they are happy with.

When the government acquired the land to build the Air Force Academy, they did it in a way that seemed to satisfy everyone. They bought a lot of places outright and entered into contracts with those that didn't want to sell that gave them the right to live there for the rest of their lives and for their heirs to do so. But other than that they could not sell or rent out the property. They also got BX and Commissary privileges, as well as access to most other facilities on base and their kids could attend base schools. I don't think they invoked imminent domain on very many (if any) properties. There are a couple of houses just outside the Cadet Area where you can see how the shape of the Cadet Area was tailored to go around them, so they went to some lengths to minimize the use of forced sales. I don't know the details of the financial arrangements, such as whether they were paid anything up front or not, but eventually all of these "indigenous housing units" will become the property of the government. In most cases, they will be torn down eventually as other use for the space is planned, but in the meantime they are often used to find room for units and activities that can't find room elsewhere on base.
