New road built around stubborn tenants
Road planners in China built a four-lane highway around an apartment block after the last tenants refused to move out.
Officials in WenLing, Zhejiang province, could not persuade the final two families living there to relocate, so simply built the new road around them.
The highway - an access way into a new train station - will soon have thousands of cars racing past the property every day.
Stubborn resident Zhang Ling, 46, explained: "They didn't offer us enough compensation to leave so we're staying.
"It could be a good opportunity for us. We could open up a drive through shop on the ground floor."
what do you think?

They'll get a drive through for nothing when the first lorry hits it!

At least the Chinese government didnt just kick them out and demolish it, that has to be an improvement, right?
