Property Owners Refuse To Leave So Engineers Build Freeway Around Building

When my friend the real estate agent was first starting out in the business, she was pretty rusty at writing so I would help her jazz up her ads. A major dump became a "great starter home you can customize to your preferences!" and a house right next to the freeway had "great access and lots of transportation options!" So just think how we could market this half-demolished building in China that has a motorway built around it.
The family that lives in the building aparently refuses to move and embroiled in a legal battle over the amount of compensation they're seeking to relocate.

Apparently homeowners that refuse to leave aren't all that rare in China. The Independent has the whole story.
