    This reminds me of UP! although they didn't fly their house away with balloons.....

    Props to them to literally sticking to their feet

    Some of these people are holding out for a better deal or just don't want to leave. Seen on Chinese news, some people were harshed with all type of threats. Some even had their homes destroyed by these developers than claim to be accidents. People had die.

    Sound like HK in the old days where developers use thugs to persuade home owners to move.
    The goons would make threats & use dirty tactics like cut off all gas/electricity/water supply or chained the door so the occupant can't get in or out.
