Most residents in nearby buildings reached settlements with the planners and relocated. However, the Guo brothers’ demands were too high and the developers had to compromise. As a result, Number 28 on Yongxing Jie has remained intact. The grotesque piece of infrastructure received international coverage in 2015 when the nearby Zhoutouzui Tunnel was revealed. Footage showed the eight-storey building surrounded by busy roads that snaked around its parameters. Zhiming told Southern Metropolis Daily he and his brother refused to move unless their offer was agreed upon. He said: “Most residents received about 400,000 Yuan (£45,210) back in 2011, which, at that time, was enough for them to buy a second-hand apartment. “So most took the money to buy another house.” Developers abandoned negotiations and instead built the overpass around the building, it was reported. Bizarre homes have trended online – checkout these abodes shaped like giant pianos, crocodiles and even a toilet. Another set of residents lived with a cemetery under their home. One Brit family are also the only remaining tenants living in a doomed low-rise block – with a council determined to demolish their home. Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22556746/ ... -move-out/
