I am very surprised as I'm familiar with the eminent domain laws and court cases in the US and Washington State for public projects. Here they could be moved by the Sheriff, have their home demolished and the freeway built over their homesite with the proper court order but in an communist country they can't?
Reminds of the picture of the house that sat on a cut when the Denny Regrade took place: http://www.seattlepi.com/local/seattle-history/slideshow/The-Denny-regrade-in-Seattle-31845.php

Amazing, a country that has no respect for human rights has no problem respecting land rights?

I also found that to be interesting.

I can certainly see how hard it would be to find equity in a situation when someone really doesn't want to move.

About ten years ago I was forced to sell the building that housed my business to the State of Washington, under the threat of condemnation. It was an extremely trying experience. While I know of large property owners who have come through the process unhurt, the regulations are not nearly as kind to a small property owner.
