There ’s no denying that China does n’t have the well record when it comes to urban preparation and development , particularly in regards to real estate — and their most recent boner is a doozy . Thanks to some poor preparation and ( presumably poor ) communication , China accidentally built a brand young set of modernistic apartments mightily in the heart of an eight - lane highway . Your very own permanent , honking audio soother .
China ’s Replica of Paris Is Now an Eerily Depressing Ghost Town
The whole thing started when a cube of resident in Xi’an , Shaanxi state in western China were uprooted to make elbow room for a shortly - to - be - constructed public Mungo Park . In exchange for the inconvenience , tenants were promised a marque young , block of modern flat — it ’s just too bad city planners forgot about that little eight - lane thruway they were going to construct in the exact same place . Whoops .
The antecedently - relocated resident get a few months of peacefulness and quiet in their young homes before the council occur a - knockin ’ and courteously asked if they would move out of their brand new home , please . As you could imagine , these involuntary nomads were n’t felicitous . Plus , after all that parkland and highway and fancy apartment expression , council funds were running abject . And since it could barely extend any reasonable amount of compensation , the renter refused to accept what little it did .
Left with no other options , the council just build the highway around the new building , convey an eight - lane main road to four . And everything considered , the tenant actually seem to be take it pretty well . As one resident , Shing Su , toldThe Daily Mail :
We do n’t exactly like being stuck out in the eye of a 60metre - wide main road , but you get used to it . If they make a decent go most would move , but it ’s intemperately as it seems we had only ensconce here when we were require to move .
But the best / sorry part of the level ? The main road has n’t done anything to help the horrible flush - hour congestion — the whole grounds it was built in the first stead . It was all done for nothing . [ The Daily Mail ]
