Sticking it to a much meaner Man

Last spring I posted this about a guy in DC who refused to sell his house to make way for a condo complex. But this, from today's NYT, is even crazier, especially since it's in China. The article keeps talking about the force of personality of the owner but never really goes into the specifics of her successful tactics. Mostly, I'm surprised the developer doesn't just go in and knock it down and sort out the details later. Keep it up Ms. Wu. Cause a stir. Progress without accountability to those you are displacing is just plain wrong. We have trouble with that even here in the US (see the ridiculous ruling in Kelo v. City of New London {and wimpy version}).
