A 'nail house' is a Chinese neologism for homes belonging to people who refuse to make room for development, often in an attempt to negotiate a high price in exchange for selling out. The term, a pun coined by developers, refers to nails that are stuck in wood, and cannot be pounded down with a hammer.
Here are 6 extraordinarily stubborn 'nail houses' from around the world.

They forgot the "polderhuis" in Rotterdam. Which due to is historical importance could not be demolished and was therefore incorporated in a shopping mall. See: http://www.rivieramaison.com/shop/default.asp?art=20
Yes, I know the Polderhuis in Rotterdam. As a matter of fact, my company delivers goods for the company that owns the house.
