钉子户

dīng zi hù

nail house

A nail house is a Chinese neologism for homes where owners refuse to accept compensation offered by real estate developers in exchange for the demolition of their property. The dwellings stand like a nail that refuses to be hammered down -- a not uncommon phenomenon as some homeowners resist dispossession of their land or hold out for more money.

"钉子户"指的是,在城市建设或房产开发征用土地时,不肯迁走的住户.这些住户之所以成为钉子户,一般是认为拆迁补偿不多,试图从发展商那里取得更符合自己的利益.
