Planners in China wanted the apartment block demolished so they could build an access road to a new railway station.

But two families in the block in Wenling, Zhejiang province decided they wanted to stay put so officials simply built the four lane highway round the building.

Thousands of cars will soon be speeding past the building every day on their way to the station.

If it cost $95,000 to build and they only got $41,000 and lost their land as well no wonder they didn't want to move
