How is this for standing your ground. These residents refused to move from their homes when the ground around them became a new construction site. This is quite common in China, they even have a name for it – ‘Nail houses’ or ‘stubborn nails’. Construction workers have to dance around these homes in order to get their job done. These are a few examples of ‘nail houses” from around the world.
1. Wenling, China 2012
Highway. What highway?
2. Yangji Village in Guangzhou, China 2013
3. Shanghai 2007
4. Zurich-Brunau, Switzerland 2007
5. Edith Macefield’s home in Seattle
6. Austin Spriggs, Washington D.C 2006
The owner of this home was offered $3 million from a developer to move. The house was only valued at $200,000. Instead the owner took out a loan and opened a pizza restaurant.
