The Ultimate Stubborn Homeowner

I have a love for these guys - recalcitrant types who refuse to buckle under pressure to move because there's some huge construction going on. The work goes on around them though.
This person takes the prize.

"The villa now stands alone in a 30ft deep man-made pit in Chongqing city, reports Jinbao Daily.
The Chongqing Zhengsheng Real Estate Company wants to turn the area into a £40m 'Broadway' square, including apartments and a shopping mall.
But the owner of the villa says he won't move out unless the company pays his price - the equivalent of £1.3 million.
"The villa owner refuses to move, so the real-estate developer has had to dig out all around it to force him to," says a saleswoman at Weilian Real Estate Sales Company.
"He wants 20 million yuan, or he'll stay till the end of the world."

That is quite a hike to get home with the groceries. I am pretty stubborn, but I would knock the price down a bit just so I could get out of there.
