China's nail houses: the homeowners who refuse to make way – in pictures

It's all the more surprising from China, right? We frequently hear of the struggle that people have to go through for - generally - "presenting grievances" of all kinds. It's possible that in some cases "nail houses" are allowed to survive and in other case not. China is a big place. Anyone with more view into this?

And to be fair, some of this tolerance seems to me more than a little "passive aggressive" like building the street expressly so that this house blocks it. or leaving the house in the middle of a highway.
