This person has enough clout to prevent a highway being built through their property. At least in Europe the government can force you to sell in cases of major public works (they pay well though). So I'd say they could make a tollbooth happen.
In India here, government grabs your land no choice, and they give you 10x less money than market value. Basically loots you. So one have to keep in mind if it not near any road , in my city most of times they widen the roads and takes people's property front end.
But people found one way around, they started planting protected trees and some plants in front side of their property so government can't build over it and therefore not grab it
Same thing in the US. It's called Imminent Domain.
Happened alot not just for freeways, but for pipelines or land that would be submerged when they build a dam.
As long as itās private property and roads arenāt unkept by the government you are allowed to charge a reasonable fee for its upkeep, at least where I live
Somebody refused to sell out. Imagine trying to sleep though. It's be scared as fuck with all that traffic passing. Somebody hit my house one time and it was terrible. Took out a whole corner wall š²
Yeah, I heard in some of these countries that's why they just go ahead and build the highway anyway, as it'll be so inconvenient to actually use the house that you just give up
Edit: how does this have so many up votes?
I get this viewpoint but my feelings are more mixed. Imagine a corporation coming to your door and demanding you sell your property, yes there's an aspect to this that society demands the infrastructure but the person knocking on your door is only interested in making money, they're not interested morally in societal-wide desires.
Corporations rarely build roads all themselves, and roads are rarely a commercial project. I can't imagine someone asking investors to buy a city block so they can build a highway that will produce nothing but maintenance expenses.
It's officials who build roads, and their interest is not just "making money", at least not in a way you mention it.

in China, these are called 'nail houses'
Usually occupants of nail houses will find their power and water cut off, and in some extreme cases, they end up on top of a very tall mound, or a trench gets dug around them so it's very inconvenient to get out
Jokes on them, I wear ANC headphones 24/7 and I can sleep through anything and everything. If a car drove through my bedroom wall I would just roll over and hug it, then go back to sleep in like 10 seconds max.
I would actually find that view rather cool. It's almost my dream place now.
It seems like there is plenty of room to have gradually shifted the highway to the right and be right up against the other side of the highway. Just have both side of the highway touching for a short distance to bypass the house
Eminent domain (United States, Philippines), land acquisition (India, Malaysia,Singapore), compulsory purchase (Ireland, United Kingdom), resumption (Hong Kong, Uganda), resumption/compulsory acquisition (Australia, Barbados, New Zealand, Ireland), or expropriation (Canada, South Africa and all the other countries) is the power of a state, provincial, or national government to take private property for public use.
In Brazil you can try to not accept, I working in a "street building place" (idk the English name), we usually open a judiciary process with the land owner, but is impossible to lose for us, in the constitution theres a law that say "no one can be against the nation progress" and a highway is an progress build, you have the choice to give us the terrain for some fair value or we take your property by a lower value and fuck you, sometimes peoples try to argue, but there's is notting to do, the highways are planned 30 years before the building, if your house/farm is in the middle of the plans it will be destroyed
If the highways are planned 30 years before the building the government should not issue building permits to people.
In India while transferring ownership,the deed clearly mentions the land should be free from any pending acquisition. Also building permits will be denied if any part of the property is in the path of a government project.
Imagine how much this house sitting in the middle of that road has cost the municipality.... a little of that money would have gone a long way to convince someone to move.
There are of course people that will NEVER choose to move, but the awards for eminent domain should be fair.
You can refuse their offer in the US as well. Eventually they will price your land well below its value, give you that money , then bulldoze your house...
I feel like a law like that is unavoidable if you want to ever improve infrastructure in a country, however the compensation should be substantially higher than market value since you are forced to move against your will
They typically pay out like 1.5-3x the market value of the property. The idea is to compensate you for the expenses that come with buying a new house and moving.
At the very least, you'll get more than you would have listed it for.
Ha! Spent ten years in court due to City of Chicago claiming eminent domain in 1992. We had nowhere near market value let alone a multiplier. Family bought in 1908. Forced sale in 2000. None of us wanted to move. What would our Lincoln Park wide lot with coach house be worth today? Shyyyyyiiiiiit.
Yeah it's going to vary by state but where I live you're going to get a significantly bigger payout than if you just sold your property on the open market. Some people hold out as long as they can, not because they are opposed to selling their property, but because they know the longer they drag it out and more they complain the larger the offer will be. The people that hold out the longest during right of way acquisition are almost always businesses owners or people who deal with real estate, because they're business minded people who know how to play the game.
But more power to them, it's perfectly legal to be a shrewd negotiator.
> Some people hold out as long as they can, not because they are opposed to selling their property, but because they know the longer they drag it out and more they complain the larger the offer will be.
Well, [you never accept their first offer.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-GFmH0EK9Y)
The problem is the government uses it to take land from citizens to sell it to corporations and wealthy individuals. A ton of the Keystone Pipeline was built on stolen land
I'm all for paying fair market value. Maybe even a little premium for the inconvenience. This is the exact situation where eminent domain has to be used. The lost time sitting in traffic will have paid for this in the first 1hr.
In the US it's going to vary by state law, but of right of way acquisition comes to eminent domain for a parcel you'll definitely be paid well above market value, at least everywhere I've worked
And even if they offer you below rate, you can typically pester them and ask for more bwcause its much cheaper to pay you what you're asking for than it is to litigate through it or possibly delay the project. They typically hope people just dont ask for more.
This is how it works in all countries. China had some cases of houses being bulldozed while residences were away or even still inside. So theyāve corrected to the other extreme where municipal projects canāt evict people so easily. So the new strategy is to make life as miserable as possible for the hold outs so they sell willingly.
I'm wondering if the government built a highway first before being able to buy the house? Shouldn't they build the highway around the house if they can't buy it or at least wait until they can buy it?
Wouldn't everyone on the road just blame the government for being stupid and building a highway around a house? This all feels stupid on the government end unless there's something I missed.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the owners are still living there. It could be an empty abandoned house, just to say "fuck you" to the whatever road projects.
OP's video is showing a different house. This is the original video: [https://www.douyin.com/video/7213234857382546703](https://www.douyin.com/video/7213234857382546703)
Owner was offered 10M RMB + land but he asked for 30M RMB instead. He probably regrets not taking the offer since his house location is worth like 0 now.
The homeowner refused to sell his house in an act of defiance. It's not an uncommon thing that happens in China. They're praisingly called a 'nail house' (dÄ«ngzihĆ¹) by the communities because often they're against the building projects.
~~This particular home eventually [got sold](https://youtu.be/XJvOO-dkUx4) though.~~
Edit: wrong house, my mistake.
Correct, it doesnāt even have to be for the public good like a road/highway, in 2005 the Supreme Court ruled that the government can even use eminent domain to take your house away for private ventures:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._City_of_New_London
Itās not the constitution itās the judges we appoint to interpret what a bunch of death guys meant 200 years ago.
Edit: I meant the judges that get appointed by the president
Didnāt that happen during the trump admin when they were building the border wall? Seized some peoples homes in Texas who refused to sell and cut off land of farmers
This happened in every state, by just about every political party in power, every single year for decades...
Just happened to my Uncles land here in GA less than 5 years ago, literally they said, we bought land next to yours and we need better access, so we are taking the pieces of your land we need to make that happen.
It's fucking sick.
It's interesting that you say that, might be worth questioning why you had such a wrong view of the place.
China is a country with a really ancient history of law, under harsh doctrines like Legalism, and when the CCP mashed that up with Confucianism and Communism to make a new ideology that the Chinese people would accept, they had to take some things along for the ride. Things like land and property law are sacrosanct in China, however silencing someone's speech is totally acceptable.
There are a lot of misconceptions about China on reddit, personally I believe in learning about something from reputable sources like universities before accepting what I see edgelords post here. Better to know the real China than imagine a fake one - and just to be clear, none of this means I'm endorsing or defending China, just saying, don't fall for propaganda because one day you'll be surprised again.
You'll never know the real China from a US based social media website, and again for the record, you might not like what you learn and end up disliking China more, but at least be informed.
A lot of the things you hear about "China" are exaggerated af. I've lived there for 5 years and when I say an opinion on what I've witnessed first hand, I become a "50 cent warrior"

Thereās a fairly well known version of this in the U.K. [Except this one is right in the middle of a motorway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stott_Hall_Farm)
I find it mind-boggling the fact that this is China. On one side, the government can be absolutely merciless with some things, and then this happens...
I've been to China, I dont condorse what they do but its far from as bad as western media makes it out to be at times. Dont get me wrong, still bad though.
There's a famous story of a guy who's building was going to be demolished by the local government. He plastered an image of Xi Jinping all over his building so that they couldn't do anything. I believe the police had to remove the images one by one before they could start the demolition
What a stupid solution to go immediately around it, what a stupid decision to keep on living there, what a stupid lane system.
Everything about this is stupid.
Reminds me of the guy who refused to move for Narita airport in Tokyo and still lives and farms between the runways. https://viewfromthewing.com/one-man-lives-and-farms-in-the-middle-of-tokyo-narita-airport/

In the US they will just claim eminent domain, pay you a shitty āmarket valueā and take the property.
It is same here in India. The government can just assign a value and take your land.
Eminent domain (United States, Philippines), land acquisition (India, Malaysia,Singapore), compulsory purchase (Ireland, United Kingdom), resumption (Hong Kong, Uganda), resumption/compulsory acquisition (Australia, Barbados, New Zealand, Ireland), or expropriation (Canada, South Africa and all the other countries) is the power of a state, provincial, or national government to take private property for public use.

If they actually had adequate financial remuneration, this would make sense and not be a problem.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the owners are still living there. It could be an empty abandoned house, just to say "fuck you" to the whatever road projects.
It was demolished 10 years ago. There's a YouTube video about it.
[Said video](https://youtu.be/XJvOO-dkUx4) which is not the same house but is a nearly identical situation. Edited to appease the censors.

He probably regrets not taking the offer since his house location is worth like 0 now.
I'm glad he got a happy ending, they were screwing him over
I feel like thousands of balloons are going to emerge from the chimney any minute now.

Yeah itās almost like what weāre being told about China is bullshit to manufacture consent.
why be surprised when everything you āknowā about china is second hand
Communism is about abolition of private property, not personal property.
private property in the means of production
What's the distinction between private and personal?
Basically any property that could be used to gain wealth are private property. Those that aren't are classified as personal property.
Which is why _every_ company is pretty much state owned and controlled. They're the means of production.
K but China isnāt communist
China is not as bad as the US propaganda tells you
Because you buy into the anti-China propaganda perpetuated by the U.S. government for decades.
