Well, if you’re anything like these property owners, that’d be a big fat “Nah, I’m good, thanks!”

SUMMARY:
- #1. This crumbling 3-story home is an example of one, and it’s the very last building in the whole area. But the most incredible thing is that this house is sitting right in the middle of a new road being built!
- #2. Three families downright refused to leave their homes. The construction company had no other choice but to build a massive bypass around the 2 properties. The remaining families were even promised a noise barrier to block out the sound of traffic.
- #3. The homeowner, Edith Macefield, wasn't about to vacate her home. But the developers decided to build the mall anyway so that it surrounded her house on 3 sides.
- #4. This home in Chongqing is one of the most famous nail houses in China. Once the area was dug up for construction, their house ended up towering over 55 feet off the surrounding ground!
- In 1911, Siegel-Cooper Dry Goods Store sold the land for the highest price that had ever been paid for a plot: a whopping 1 million bucks! That’s $868 a square foot!
