The Chinese government’s vindictive decision to turn a couple’s home into a roundabout after they refused to sell up to make way for a new road has been making headlines in China and beyond.
The couple inhabiting the Zhejiang province property claim the compensation they were offered to move was substantially less than what the property cost to build.

the house gets good access of transportation...
No shit, Sherlock.
Then keep digging Watson.
Well you're just a shining ray of sunshine, aren't you? How's that single life working out for you?
It'll kinda get loud to sleep at night when the Cars pass by at high speeds.
LOL That looks pretty cool xD
Indeed, all roads lead to home.
Time to open up a drive through take-out restaurant.
Well, that is one short article with one small picture.
Do they even get a spot to park their cars?
Make a restaurant out of it, it's the most strategic location ever
That would be awesome, but parking...?
Construct additional pylons.
Toll booth that shit
Fastest drive-though ever? Highway speed!
I give it a week before it explodes.
the house or the road?
Its a beautifull building, I wouldnt want to tare it down either.
A guy hit the only tree in 400km in the middle of the sahara desert with his car. Someone will definitely go careening through that living room.
You think Asian drivers are bad? Imagine every driver is Asian.
Its Chinese yo fool oh pop
Their taxi

Their bus

So the Chinese only know how to build strait roads?
Any house built over a strait would involve floating or a bridge, neither likely to last more than a year.
Think of German drivers too.
that picture is at a funny angle it almost looked like a paper stand in the picture. xD i'd keep my house there. FUCK you chinese government.
If the couple was allowed to keep their house, does that make the chinese government democratic ?
weird indeed...
They should put MOAT around the house for pesky Mad Max type Truck or Bus driver that will ram their wall also put some crocodiles too to eat those driver in the moat waters when they fall and get out from their vehicle.
Road: "I need to get through..."
House: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!"
Road: "challenge accepted!"
For a second I thought that looked like a Texas ROADHOUSE...
Make there house a diner or some kind of 24/7 shop make profit then bribe the police but bailout when the chin-gov start rolling out tanks.
If they could afford this nonsense why couldn't they afford to just move the road over a bit and go around the house? It's clear that this is just retaliation against the homeowners.
Because the chinese governement are retarded?
Nope, their government are just plain bullies.
So that makes them retarded bullies then.
They can afford everything but common sense.
There is NO such shit as "common sense" you ignorant!
no, if they want to retaliate against home owners, all they have to do is think up some bullshit reason, put both of them in jail and confiscate all their properties. this is chinese government being nice about it.
In America it's called Eminent Domain. They'd simply lose their house if they didn't accept the offer/make a court case in time.
They do that if they Building a Highway or a Army base in that location.Sad part from what I hear where I live in history Farmers lost there homes and lively hood because Government bult a Army base over it.
To an extent, but ever since 1975 or so, every run-down inner-city ghetto neighborhood is a "historical district," every puddle is a "wetland," and you can't walk anywhere without tripping over 5 new endangered species. (They even re-routed a road in Texas because of a spider habitat, and that's not exactly a liberal eco-lover's paradise state.)
China's ability to get roads built and expanded has, this case notwithstanding, outstripped the U.S. Let's just hope the people in that house keep a close eye on their young children , or we're going to hear about more double-tap incidents.
The US is capable of being just as bad. All they have to do is accuse the homeowners of certain crimes, mostly having to do with drugs. The house can then be seized, and the owners will not get it back regardless of the outcome of the trial. Never specifically heard of this happening but it would be 100% legal if it did.
@08:51 They can't seize a house without a search and seizure order, signed and reviewed by a judge.
Though lately with the housing and foreclosure rates being what they are, people have been evicted by the police unlawfully, even by banks who didn't own the rights to the house. I have seen this in the news before and it does happen.
Or by some chance of fate a dump truck loses control and hits The building shaking their structure and their owners forced out by civil defense for their safety o.0?!
Just a cracked wall and gets a good excuse, but the owners will have to accept the value that the government wants to give ..
they never heard of house movers? They dig up the house and move it elsewhere. they should've asked that of the government.
Their government know not of that... the only thing they know is demolition and destruction.
china style
Then why is that house still standing, dumbass? And many others like it, too? Do a google search for "nail houses" ...
That might have cost more but from a PR stand point would have been the right move.
Highway Toll Level : China
Howl's Moving Castle.
But it refuse to move
Calcifer got extinguished.
I was thinking the same thing add some mechanical legs and wait until traffic starts to get it moving and run over all the cars.
