Owners refuse to move despite highway bridge being built around their tiny home

Although the house is surrounded by roads and there are no paths, the owner still refuses to move.

The refusal of the owners to sell or move led to changes in the plans to build the Haizhuyong Bridge

According to media reports, this very special house is located in Guangdong, China. The owner of this strange house is Ms. Li Gang.

The reason why the house exists mysteriously is that Ms. Li Gang did not agree to move because she could not agree to the government's alternative housing in the ideal location.

As a result, she refused to sell their house to the government for ten years and received no compensation for the demolition.

The owner of the tiny house expresses satisfaction with the quiet and comfortable living environment.

Despite being surrounded by the highway and rush hour traffic, Mrs. Li Gang felt completely comfortable.

The woman also claimed to the media that the government had compensated her for her new residence, but it was next to the morgue, so she could not move yet. Ms. Liang is the only person who still lives there among 7 enterprises in 47 households.

Guangdong TV reported on the bungalow, which measures 40 square meters and is located in a hole in the middle of a four-lane road.

Ms. Liang shared that the house is simple and simple, but she feels quiet, generous, cozy, and comfortable. She added that she was happy to deal with the consequences and didn't care what others thought of her living here.

She explained: "You think this environment is poor, but I feel it's quiet, liberating, pleasant and comfortable."

For this expressway construction project, the authorities claimed to have proposed a compensation plan for local personnel and cash compensation, but Ms. Liang flatly rejected it.

The Zammits family declined a $50 million offer from developers. 

For over 15 years, the Zammits have lived in their six-bedroom, triple-garage house on a five-acre property in Quakers Hill, Sydney. 

Throughout this time, while their home has stayed the same, notable changes have occurred in the neighborhood.

According to reports, the Zammits recently declined a $40 million offer from developers. 

Property experts have estimated the value of their assets to be between $40 million and $50 million, while some have suggested a slightly lower range starting from $30 million.

Walter Nanni from iBuy Property Buyers Agency believes the family may have received offers ranging from $35 million to $40 million.

However, the Zammits haven't said publicly what offers they got.

Despite the huge compensation, the family still firmly refused all offers from the developers

Australian buyers agent Ella Cas suggests that if the Zammits were to agree to developers' offers, their property could potentially be subdivided into either 46 or 56 lots, resulting in approximately 50 houses.

Despite this potential amount of money, Cas expresses surprise that the Zammits have not accepted any offers from developers.
