Doubt they have that in China, if your home is in the way of a planned development…it won’t be soon.

[citation needed]

In fact there are many exemples of the opposite happening, China having to build around something because the person(s) refused to move and China didn't force them to.

IIRC, you can say no to private development but not to the state. Either way you're well compensated if you give up your land.

Yeah, technically the state owns all land, including the land that holds both personal and private property, so they are free to use that ownership, but they are also required to compensate the people who own property on the land. This is basically just a rephrasing of Eminent Domain.

Yes I can flip a coin and half the time it lands on heads I can then claim that heads is always going to be the outcome of all coin flips.

I worked with a guy back in the day who was a dual citizen and owned homes back there. They were far ahead of us in terms of transportation, payments and conveniences. He went back every year for a month to party, even taking a few of us along.

All those nail houses you see are homes near roads, do you see one in the way of a HSR? You can't build a HSR around a home like you can with a road.
