Only in China...

 

Now why did they simply build a curve in the road around the front or behind the building?

 

I guess no Eminent domain laws, in fact what caused this are laws that have the opposite affect, "A recent change in Chinese law prohibits the demolition of a home without the express written consent of the homeowner."

Dang! Why can't we get rights like that in the People's Republic of USA?

Considering the driving skill I've seen demonstrated during my visits to China, I applaud their bravery. I think we should start a betting pool on whether they'll be hit trying to enter or leave their home against whether they'll be hit while their in their home.

Another ‘Nail House’ in China Gets Hammered

 

Mr. Luo’s home still had electricity and water, unlike other nail houses whose owners usually relent when their utilities are cut off. But late last week the couple agreed to move, accepting the equivalent of about $42,000 and a plot of ground for a new house, Xinhua said.

 

News reports said Mr. Luo, 67, had originally put the value of his house at 600,000 renminbi, or about $96,000.
