NAR: Library: Power Tools: Power Tools for International Real Estate Practitioners: 'Nail home' driven into ground

The world has been watching as a Chinese couple fought to save their home in the town of Chongqing from being bulldozed to make way for a shopping development. On Monday, April 2, their three-year struggle to save their home ended as they finally accepted a deal from the developer and their home was razed. The amazing part of this case is that the couple was able to hold out for so long. The developers excavated the land all around their home leaving an island where their house stood. The couple's story made the front page of The New York Times on March 27, 2007.
