From Wikipedia: A 
nail house (
dingzihu or 
钉子户) is a Chinese 
neologism for homes belonging to people (sometimes called "stubborn nails") who refuse to make room for 
development, often in an attempt to negotiate a high price in exchange for selling out. The term, a 
pun coined by 
developers, refers to nails that are stuck in wood, and cannot be pounded down with a hammer.
