Thats HP Pavilion...and I think the "house" is a security building of some kind for the parking lot.

Hey, at least in India they kill you so finding another place isn't a problem. :rolleyes:

Angry homeowner.

Chongqing citizen Wu Ping who refuses to move out from her old house, shows the Constitution of China and her determination to withstand possible force removal of her house, in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, on March 21, a day before the deadline of moving sentenced by local court. Wu refused to go in a compensation disagreement with the real estate developer.

I guess the grabbing your copy of the Constitution is universal in these things and in the end meaningless.:(

Here in the US, we have zoning laws to ensure that landowners can't just do whatever they want with their property, and eminent domain laws to ensure that the government can take it from them if someone more powerful wants the land for something else.

We have property development regulations controlling what anyone can do with their land/buildings. In order to substantially alter the appearance or function of a building or piece of land one must first acquire planning permission from the council, that permission must be granted or refused with regard to the Council's agreed Unitary Develpoment Plan. But.....we also have something called Compulsory Purchase Orders, which Council's can issue against land/building/house owners, whereby they have to sell to the Council in order for largescale public works or major town alterations to take place.

Mrs Wu, when told the house had been demolished, reportedly said: "Oh well."

I wonder how big her grin was when she said that?

In my town, they built a new FBI facility . . . around both sides of a car wash, which refused to give up the land.

I'll bet they have a list of every patron and how often then wash their car, as well as soil and fiber samples from each wash.

Hi Brianna, thanks for the welcome and my apologies for being so rude as to not respond earlier.

Great forum, just never sent the link home so I could visit after work.

I'll try to do better... ;)

Hey Bruce, thanks for the welcome. As with Brianna, my apologies for the rudeness.

No, I am Military Intelligence. You know, the "oxymoron". Yeah, I had to get that one out of the way, right away.

I'll visit more, I promise!

But I sure hope so. I'd love to have a first person account/contact with someone familiar with military intelligence (spoken with zero irony, cross my heart).
