This is a real-world example of the pervasiveness of scummy marketing causing even ethical marketing to be met with groans.

No, because of the principle of eminent domain, meaning the government of California can forcefully purchase the land for public use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain

Legally, whoever tried this would be forced to give over the land for "fair market value", and if they were difficult about it they'd probably receive much less.
