How accurate is this?
(lemmy.ml)
Obviously a simplification/joke but curious how accurate it is and figured there would atleast be one person here who knows lol
extremely accurate, esp the nail house in the middle of the highway
What's a nail house?

Weird little quirk about Chinese housing law, asked a Chinese friend and they said there's usually a house or two per city like this. Usually they do get demolished by the time construction is done but construction companies really hate haggling for a price and the residents can just sit there until the construction company is fed up and pays out a big sum.
Never new what these were called. My Grandpa worked for a joint venture in China and said there was the one old lady who wouldn't sell and the just built the factory around her house.
