10 Stubborn Homeowners Who REFUSED To Move Out 

These people are all legends...it takes some ball to defend what is yours

Stubborn is not the right word, dude. They are not stubborn. They are just defending their right.

Imagine being offered 3M for ur place and saying no, but then putting it up for 1.5M a couple years later and end up selling it for 750K..Dang that's mustve hurt.

Title could also be 10 stubborn investors who couldn't accept someone else already owning something.

How is it legal to cut off their water and electricity??

It's your house and if you refuse to sell you are stubborn?? Excuse me.. but wtf kinda logic is that???

Much respected! Such stories can never happen in India as the owners would die mysteriously natural 🤣

This shows the level of rights those people have in their countries. This is a dream in ERITREA !

It's not stubborn. It's the owners property and their choice and right not to move.

Was the red arrow in the thumbnail really necessary. I would have figured it out.

I'd like my home inside a mall. That increases its value

It's not about the money.. it's about the memories you have in that house. Just because they didn't sell their home doesn't mean they're stubborn 😪

We have at least one road in the US that goes right through the middle of a tree. Apparently the tree refused to move, lol.

Here in Nigeria The government will kick you out without giving you a damn

this videos broke my heart 😭, I dont see them as stubborn , they look hopeless I pity them for what the government did to them , but I salute them for being so strong to defend their rights , they need an equal just compensation , but You know what money cant buy value of memories 😭

This means these nations's govt respects human rights

Dude who owns the farm should put a toll booth down to allow people to drive through his farm

I came to see the house on the middle of the road

I didn't know China had so many property rights.

Some of those people has good memories in their houses that you cant easily let go.

the home owners who already owned there home arnt stubborn it's the government who wants there land that is stubborn

"So how do you like living next to an airport?" " *WHAAAAT* "

I dunno but if I buy a land and refuse to sell it because I worked so hard for it, I wouldn’t consider myself stubborn

If developers ever offer me millions to move out I’m packing my bags 🤙🏻🤑

I feel sorry for Mr Yangs postman

Nothing like farming with jet fuel all over the crops.

It's so unfair to the residents who were forced to move :(

Interesting how many of these are in Asian countries.

Maybe these people just want to live out the remainder of their lives in a house that they worked so hard to own, and that their significant other and them lived before they passed away. They're waiting for the moment Up becomes real and they can collect enough balloons in order to fly away with their house.

My mum refused to move for there years when our tenements were being pulled down but that was because there was ten of us at home and the council kept offering her two or three bedrooms. She sat it out even though the lights were taken out of the close and she was in the papers and everything till she finally got a house big enough for all of us

I feel like like this is where my attachment issues are going to get me

This cannot happen here in Nigeria. They will just clear you out without giving a damn if you are proving stubborn

Damn.. This should re-title as top 10 Chinese home owners refusing to leave! ...:)

To the house whose in the middle of the road, all i can say is.. “VERY BRAVE!” Haha

Good I wish more people would I have big respect for them.

“Sleep doesn’t help if it’s your soul that’s tired.” From a RU-vidr ❤❤

The first home though...man that guy could have easily became a millionaire 💰

Wow I had no idea China allows people to have such private property rights, I thought nothing stops them from developing.

In Russia, the government would’ve just broken down the house, without even asking for permission.

In my country you will find yourself outside with no home nothing at all

Home is home😊👍

It not stubborn if 1. It’s a legacy 2. Because you said so and you have the rights to say so(logical reason) 3. They build construction around your house purposely so that they can knock it down.

Much respect for these countries that allow people to defend their rights.

There’s a bridge in Cape Town South Africa that is incomplete because a store owner didn’t sell

This is really sad .... imagine living in a house and just watching everything around you change and get destroyed and turned into a massive city :(

they are protecting their own property

Like Bob said"stand up for your right, don't give up the fight"✊

“Yeah I live in the center of Shanghai” “Wow that must be amazing so your rich” - 😳😰

In America we've been told people have no rights in China, yet if you tried to do that in America the government will just take it regardless if you won't sell

Good narration, good script, well presented and no wasted time. Thank you. Oh, and only one commercial; I really appreciate that.

In my country, if you stand in the way of something like this, you can't stand anymore.

I love these “Stubborn” People!!!! I want to meet everyone single one of them 🥰💕!!! Good for them for them for staying in their homes 🏡!!!! And STANDING THEIR GROUND!!!

The people who refuse to move out aren’t stubborn, they’re just people who don’t want to be driven by evil developers.

*Ahem, you call people stubborn because they won't move out? Why, I could go to your house and say 'This is my house now.'! And if you say 'no' I could call you stubborn until you move!* *To everyone that disagrees, please respect that this is my opinion and that I should not be hated for sharing my opinion. Thanks for understanding.*

I wished I could of refused to sell my house to the School city when they wanted to expand the bus garage. I asked them what if I don't want to sell. They said that's ok we'll just take it anyway.

Except for the Macy’s building and the “Up” house, the rest are eyesores in the middle of major roadways and business. At least you were offered decent sums to move. Not everyone gets that curtesy.

Stubborn would be the incorrect way to portray these individuals. In many cases the home owners did not "have" to leave. It was outsiders with big money that wanted to "have" them move or be removed. All you homeowners know exactly what I am talking about.

So.. it's basically between US and China but Japan wins !

This feels like government sponsored advertisement.

Edith story was beautiful ❤️ good man and he got rewarded handsomely

This video put a smile of satisfaction on my face.I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

The moral here, the Chinese government don't like to pay much for relocation.

All these huge holdouts on freeways & roads in China. Seems like folks there have more rights than in other developed countries.

the last one most really mess up your hearing having 90 aircrafts take off just next to you

Hard to believe that 13 people lost their lives fighting for their right to their house over an airport :/

Some people doesn't want to sell their house because some memories are in there home, and they can't let go or they cherish those memories

Money cannot bring back the the memories that get destroyed with the house.

People be saying that it’s “not right” to call them stubborn.”they are just defending their right”👌👌👌

In many other places on the planet, the government of the nation would force the landowner to move. It appears China does honour its citizens in many aspects. Most of the cases on the video are Chinese.

Three minutes of information padded inside 10 minutes of unrelated stock imagery.

Damn, if someone offered me $1M+ to move, forget packing my shit, I’d just up and leave, no problem lmao

i remember the movie UP and now i cant stop crying...

Why are so many Chinese

I know that I don't know the details around any of these, but some, like #6 "Lou Baogen" look like it would not have been difficult to just build the road over a hundred meters or so, and avoid the house.

Never back down, even when ppl want to buy you out. People are tied to their land just as it is tied to them- just like family!

There’s also a really iconic little old yellow house in the middle of downtown Portland, Oregon, surrounded by newer steel and concrete dormitories of Portland State University. I worked across the street from it with a few down to it out my desk window. There was balloons tied to it’s chimney as well.

Owners of the land should not have utilities cut off. It's their land after all

There’s one on the M62 as well as you go between Manchester & Leeds

They did not let them bully them out of their home. Dassit 🤷🏾‍♀️

god bless those few chinese. tough as nails and ready to defend their rights.

Why didn't you talk about the highway that goes through a skyscraper in Japan?

I feel sad for the land owners. It's not fair!!

As a Chinese living in the centure of my country, take my grandparents' village as example,due to the expending of the city(WuHan), the householder living there would be offerred compensation from 1.5M to 5M RMB, depending on the area and whether has farmland or other things, and in the nearest suburb of Wuhan, the cost of apartment is just around 7k per square meter which means each family could get at least 2 apartments. The goverment is clever enough that they made a policy that the earlier you sign the contract, the more bonus(money and some gifts like air-condioner) you get. Even though, it was still hard to reach to agreement, negetiation between villagers and goverment last for more than one year. Long before the young generation had already moved out, there are only old peoples and empty house.

It's amazing that you're called stubborn because you want to stay in your house.

Imagine living in the middle of all that construction noises

The farm blocking the motorway should add a car wash

Under the endless sky! And the earth below! Here I was born to live! And I will never go!

You go!!! Stick to the principle of the matter! Love ,love it! I'd refuse too!🙂🙌

Here in Tanzania the government will kick you out without ransom

Proud of these folks for sticking it to the man!

Reminds me of the classic 1943 children’s book The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton. It’s not about refusing to sell, more about the story of a little house watching the world encroach around it and growing dilapidated and sad, missing the days of open fields and apple trees. But it has a happy ending! It’s a cute book.

In the Philippines if you refuse to sell your land to the government they will force you to evacuate.

This totally reminds me of the McDonald’s on the interstate in Chicago. The fact that it is so out of place is satisfying and irritating all at the same time! Do ya feel me??

If I want to keep my house, I'll keep it. I paid for it to begin with.

The number 1 in this list is soooooo painful for the land owners! It's their life, their residence, their farm, their treasure, their income! How can they just take it from them? Unless the government find them an equally productive land where they could plant and farm again then it wouldn't have been as big of a problem as it was. Money can't solve everything you know!

That thumbnail gets me every time. I’ve watched this video 6 times now. I need to stop smoking weed 😂

M 62 England has a farm house in the centre of it. Bizarre sight for sure.

It seems like government of China don't give much compensation

Interesting video, but I don't see the point of the dandruff constantly falling throughout the entire thing.

I went to the "Up" house that was surrounded by the mall in Ballard, and I researched the owner further while I was there. It's a really cool story
