Chinese couple refuses to move despite apartment building that lies in middle of new roadway

[n2doc]

Talk about prime real estate.
A half-demolished apartment building now stands smack dab in the middle of a new roadway thanks to a Chinese couple that refused to move.
Luo Baogen and his wife balked at relocating from their home in the city of Wenling, Zhejiang province, eastern China, because they believed the government did not offer them enough compensation, China Daily reported.
Their neighbors are all gone, but many of the unoccupied rooms are still intact to make sure that the property is safe for the couple to live in.
The road paved through the Xiazhangyang village is not yet open.

There are many layers to this, but as long as I don't think too hard about it I think it's pretty excellent somehow.

3. I can just imagine the emergency call

- 911, what's your emergency?

- What's your address?
- I live in the middle of the highway!
