It’s undeniable that neighborhoods will change with the times. Neighborhoods are developed and redeveloped, whether they’re modernized with tall-rise condos and quaint boutiques or huge skyscrapers.
But what happens when someone in the neighborhood refuses to be a part of the progress? Stubborn neighbors refuse to let their homes be changed or demolished while the neighbor changes around them.
These leftover houses end up sticking out like a sore thumb. In China they’re called “nail houses” because they stick out like a single nail on a board even when the rest are hammed down. Take a look at the craziest houses that have become anomalies in their own neighborhood!
WoW
interesting

WOW i wanna read this again
INTERESTING
Very interesting.
Very
I enjoyed reading this article
Pretty interesting read
Gami
Good article
If developer wants to tear down my house, I would deal a good price first.
That’s exactly what I would do.
Good and interesting stories. I especially like their strong will to confront these companies.
I will fight for my rights if need be…
Good
No thanks
Hard to answer
Wow
It would be awfully terrible is someone wanted to tare your house down
I’ll try my best to fight my rights.
Very good article thank you
Ty
Good places in here
Where are my diamonds
I am wondering the same.
I would go ahead and sell my property because I prefer a traditional neighborhood.
Interesting read. I enjoy articles about history!
Good articles!
Money talks…
If the money was right, we could tak!
Interesting reading.
Hope
Cool article
Never let anyone trample all over you.
I’d try to get as good a price as possible.
If that ever happened i would let them do it but before they would have done it I would sell the house and when people pay for it OS the other person can have the problem 😉
Superbe maisons, je comprends que sentimentalement les personnes ne veulent pas partir. C’est leur choix.
Amazingly
I would deal the price too
Wow cool read
I shared this but didn’t receive my reward from Tapjoy!
Interesting
I would be very upset because I live in the country where wild life abound .
Yess
Interesting article but the situation depends on a couple of factors
If the price was right anything can be for sale.
This is a great read. Corporations always think that they can get their way against ordinary people because they have financial resources to fight with. These stories, however, reminds us that anything worth having is worth fighting for.
Will not let them
I would most definitely kick ass before letting developers have my house!
Ok
Glad they did it
Such an interesting article! I wouldn’t give in either.
Crazy but interesting read.
Ok
Read it for the diamonds on my game but it just keeps starting over no reward
Good
I think I would do the same. If I paid for my property no one had the right to force me out without paying what I want for it.
It would depend on what they were building,I wouldn’t want to be stuck in the middle of a lot of noise,so money would be a big part of deciding too.
Nuuu
Interesting article, made you think if you what you would do if asked to sell.
nice
Es un articulo muy bueno me gusto leerlo y si me quisieran derivar la casa haría todo lo necesario por que no la turen
Depending on the price I would probably sell
Yes, I’ll do
Yes love haría
I would sell for a nice price. I will first let them know I’m no dummies and can’t be taken advantage of
Interesting stories
🙂
I think I would like to keep my home. Home is home, there is not enough money in the world that would make me part with something I love.
I would allow them to do it at a reasonable price.
A like al the things here bit a don’t like the plise

as being a human i will fight my rights if the developers wanted to tear down my house,i still stand not to sell my home.because home is a home and money can’t build the memories i had in my home
Probably not
i would fight for my rights just as much as these people did .
I would make them pay a crazy amount of money to acquire the property it’s not like there’s insane personal history to the houses in question. If you could sell it buy something even better paid off with lots of cash left in your pocket even get shares in the businesses being built. If you have leverage use it. To your advantage YO
It depends on the circumstances.
They better have a pocket full of money.
Interesting Storie
Great!
It is important to fight for what is yours. That is a lesson we must all learn at some point in our lives.
Nice
I must find another choice
Nice
Stand up for what you believe.
Nice
Very interesting
I’d do exactly what Acker did (fight for what’s right).
Interesting ppl do care aboutthere property against the wealthy
Tbh I’d a developer tried to sell my house it would depend on why they trying to sell it but if it’s not a good reason then im not selling it and imma fight for my own home
Interesting
They are tearing down lots in B.C
It’s hard to say but if you truly love a house and it’s a good house, why put it down?
it would depend on the situation and the sentimentality of the property, but most likely i would settle for compensation.
I would fight like hell for my home
I would be quick to sell for a good price lol
Stoical people… Strong will!!
I will first make a good deal and see.. good stories!
I would stick it to the man big time!
It depends on what I feel about my house. IF I love it, I won’t accept any offer..
I would need a good price, if they wanted my home
Good and interesting stories.
Bullocks
I think that all 6 people had the right to fight for their homes. I would have done the same thing also.
Interesting stories
I understand not wanting my home to be torn down,
There were strong people with a lot of strength. Very interesting
Good
I thing I will also fight against
Save historical buildings
I will fight if my house been tear down.
Good article
ghokf
Id give em hell if they tried to tear down my home.
Me too it’s almost 100years old and the very first home l still paying for bought it 5 years ago
In the end what’s it all worth, quality of life should be worth more than your issue’s or money.
Very interesting stories.
If the price is right. I’d sell
Very interesting. The history about Macy’s was something I supected.
Interesting
Very interesting
I would probably sell if the offer is great. Its the people in the house that makes it a home. But those situations were a bit different. I understand why they didn’t sell.
No
Nice
Great to see this article
Lovely

If offered enough money I’d pack my crap and be gone!

I wouldn’t sell unless they paid me well and paid to relocate my home and family.
I would sell only if they relocated my home to a better location.
Pissed
Good for them to fight for what’s theirs I wouldn’t sell my house especially if it meant so much to me and my family who cares if they want tosellt I would give them a hard time also
It would depend on what was going to be built
Eminent domain

SAD
Very interesting read!
Interesting article . Please give me my diamond’s

Hmmm
It is a very difficult decision to make as people have lots of memories and emotional attachment s to their own homes.
I would do the same thing…
Wow
I would sell out for the right deal.

Fight the good fights! Yes, diamonds please..
Interesting stories

“Just Show me the money!”

Leave it
I would right for my rights, and my family’s because in the future should anything happen to me at least I have something to leave for my children and assure from the fact I wouldn’t let anyone tell me where I can live or what to do with something I own.
Interesting article.
Interesting!
I would do my research first.
I’d pretty much do the same thing as these people.
I definitely wouldn’t make it easy. I’d almost play with the thought of selling as well as look at all my rights and options because it is my home.
If a developer wanted to tear down my home. I would make sure that i would get my dream home.
For a good price l’ll go fo it.
Yes lmao
For a good price i’ll go for it
For a good price I’ll sell my house.
I’m waiting for my land to be commercialized. Interesting article.
Awesome article! Very inspirational. Money isn’t everything, as these brave individuals clearly displayed!
Yeah know
Wow!
La vendería por una fortuna considerable

Crazy!
Lol it’s so strange the house in front of parking mdr ☺
I don’t know what I would do
Haha
Giving me a another good house is ok
Awesome
me too
With a great offer i will accept the deal!
Interesting
Huh
I “read” this stupid thing. . Where are my diamonds then ?
If the offer is really good, I would sell and find a new house.
Depends on what the property meant to me.
I would sell if the price is right
Wow
Cool
Interesting article !
Sell for right price
They are stubborn, they should take the money and move on
Cool
I don’t really know but I standing where the law is. If itsfor a good cause yes.
Huh…interesting
Most development companies look at the money aspect and not the history of the land they just wanted the land to complete their building project that’s what I think.
Good read
Sometimes progress isn’t great for all.
Great story
Cool
Interesting information… the Fight between old and new, the history and modern times.
I would definitely sell the home if the offer was 3 times what I would get if I sell it myself. My life is an accumulation of memories. You can’t make new memories in old places. Then eventually the new place becomes a remembered good memory, then move again.
Interesting article..
Cool
Good article
Nice stories
I would fight them!
Wow
Good stories.nice to know peaple dont just give up
I love hearing stories of home/land owners defying the machine of progress. It’s good to be reminded that we are human after all, and compassion is key to our humanity.
Wow
Very interesting
Make me a good offer
Ok my diamonds please
Personally in the town I live in I would never sell for land to build on I live by the beach and there’s enough land taken from the animals
It would come down to price. The right amount of money may change my mind.
Wow
Interesting
Everyone has a price
I wouldnt sell
For good price, possible
Very interesting article. Home is always home

Thet would have to seriously compensate me for not just the monetary value but the emotional value as well
Nice
Woow
It would depend on a few things. If I loved my home i would fight to stay. If not then I would go.
Buena información

Depends on how high a price they offered. Diamonds please.

Muy interesante. Yo defendería lo que es mío a no ser que me ofrecieran una suma considerable
Diamonds please
Fascinating
Good for them…
ppap
It depends on why the developer wants to build in my area and what they want to build. I’d research to find out if the land is prime property and the began negotiating.
Diamonds please
Useful article
Great story
Diamonds please!
If the price is right
I think some things need to change but the reason needs to be very good first.
Diamonds?
I’d fight them
Courageous
I think they were right in what they were doing.
would do the same
Great
I would not want to sell just for the sake of progress.
If I had a historic or valued house I would do everything I could to keep it Interested stories
