“Nail Houses,” Buildings of the Resistance
‘”Nail Houses” is a Chinese neologism for homes belonging to people who refuse to make room for development, often in an attempt to negotiate a high price in exchange for selling out. The term, a pun coined by developers, refers to nails that are stuck in wood, and cannot be pounded down with a hammer.
These incredible stand-alone structures have huge fan bases of individuals who applaud their willingness to stand up for their property.
