I think my comment got deleted on the YT comments section, so I wanted to share here: Japan has really strong property laws (I think its in their constitution?) which makes eminent domain policies very weak, and allows these sorts of holdouts. One of my faves is in Tokyo, under the Hakozaki Junction, which has a number of bustling shops right there under the highway! Here it is at night, seen from above: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicknoyes/4239462026/in/photostream/ Here is a picture of the old house surrounded by high rise apartments and that huge junction: https://i.imgur.com/K5NIlEb.jpeg There are actually a few old row houses just down the street too: https://i.imgur.com/7Deuya5.jpeg

The Youtube system would have stopped the comment because of the link, sorry. They have pretty amazing squatter laws too... live in a place long enough and nobody can remove you.
