A new nail house in Shenzhen

Isn't it a beauty? Simon World cuts-and-pasts from the otherwise unlinkable South China Morning Post (SCMP).
Mr. Choi and this wife got inspiration from the earlier success in Chongqing:
He admits he has been inspired by a Chongqing couple who held out for 11 days, while their house stood on a mound in the middle of 10-metre-deep pit, until the developers paid up. "The couple is my model. I'm sure I will win this battle as they did," Mr Choi said of the pair, whose home was dubbed the "coolest nail house" - slang for holdouts who refuse to be hammered down while their houses stand erect like nails after those around are demolished.
