It doesn't really matter if they build apartment blocks in the middle of highways, the lucky numbers mean that everything is going to be OK.

Apparently being pregnant is unlucky too. Try getting a cab in Bei.jing if you are with a pregnant lady.

Interesting place, but of course, much much more advanced than anyone realizes. That's why the IJA coming from a country with 1/10th the population managed to do what it did on a much larger country.

Definition of a doom and gloomer from 1993
The last camp is made up of the doom-and-gloomers. Their slogan is "it's the end of the world as we know it". Right now they are convinced that debt is the evil responsible for all our economic woes and must be eliminated at all cost. Many doom-and-gloomers believe that unprecedented debt levels mean that we are on the precipice of a worse crisis than the Great Depression. The doom-and-gloomers hang on the latest series of negative economic data.

Indeed. It was obviously a screw-up involving the provincial govt and the city govt not communicating.

I imagine it will get fixed eventually. It sure doesn't look if there is much traffic on the road to be impacted as yet.

That was great Skamy, though for some reason it reminded me of some amazing 'tricks' I've seen people do with excavators:

"If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear." - Gene Roddenberry

Auto barn: Chinese motorway has farmer's shed in the middle of it because he refused to sell to developers

Drivers on this newly-built highway found themselves on a road to nowhere when they hit an entire farm blocking the route.

Most of the residents of Dongying, China, accepted pay packages to move out and allow for construction on the road.

But farmer Ye Tan, 72, and his wife Shen, 71, felt they were not offered enough - so stayed put.

Refusing to miss the deadline, the local council simply built either side of it.

Now, Mr Tan's barn and yard - home to a goat and a few chickens - straddles the highway in east China's Shandong province, completely blocking any cars from getting past.

Small vehicles can make their way round on a narrow dirt track to the side.

Lorries, however, will have to turn back and take a diversion.

Motorists have blasted the construction workers for failing to notify anyone about the obstacle, which does not show up on sat navs.

Conflict: Small vehicles can attempt to slip round the property on a dirt track but lorries will have to turn back

Lian He, 35, told local media: 'I couldn't believe it when I was travelling down the road and it just ended at the farm.

'On both sides there is a massive construction site and the only way to get past was to use a dirt path which I doubt would be wide enough for a lorry and certainly not for two cars.

'My navigation system told me it was the best short cut but clearly nobody had told the people that programmed it about the farmhouse.'

The conflict is one of many across China as swathes of land are being snapped up by construction firms to build industrial complexes, highways and residential estates.

Properties like Mr Tan's are known locally as nail households, because they stand out like a lone nail in a solitary wooden fence post.

The images that ended up widely shared on Chinese social media network Weibo were largely confined to attracting criticism of the local council for rushing the building work through without signing up the land.

The road was branded effectively pointless until the farmer is removed.

However the council say that their hands are tied to paying approved rates for land to prevent setting a bad example and encouraging others to hold out for a good price.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
