> Like if the land just isn’t usable as a park because it’s too out of the way to be worth maintenance or building it would be insane because it’s a literal swamp, what is the city supposed to do with that? Own it and just do nothing with it in perpetuity?

Why would the city buy it with the original stipulation attached if that were the case? Seems dishonest (which isn't illegal), but yeah...

The guy donated it, so they didn’t buy it per se.

This is purely from a legal perspective. Morally it’s abhorrent (at least as presented).
