This building in the Shanxi Province of China was built under a freeway 15 yrs ago. How that happens, I dunno! How did it bypass permits, assessment, appraisals, building codes, liability,...oh, wait, it's China. Minor details! 

On the bright side, the government now has deemed it unsafe & will demolish it. The current denizens are being re-located somewhere hopefully less precarious. Perhaps by a railroad station, airport runway or military firing range? Anything is a step up from this disaster waiting to happen!

Now, just for kicks, how would a real estate agent market a place like this?

1. Unique location!
2. Easy freeway access
   
3. Convenient for commuters. Just hop off the roof
4. Can't hear any street level noise
   
5. Keep cool under the shade.
6. Ideal for smog aficionados
7. Great for buyers who do not believe in earthquakes

Share any suggestions you have! I'm trembling with anticipation

My friend Mark Gonzales of Keller Williams (and Realtor Magazine's 30 Under 30) posted this on his facebook:

"AGENT ALERT!! A male, identifying himself as Mr. Bunch, has been calling female agents, who have listings in the newspaper using their photo, requesting that they meet him at a vacant property or a parking lot, primarily in the Chatsworth/Canoga Park (Los Angeles). This man is known to the police to use several aliases. All agents should be alert to this type of request and be especially careful when meeting clients at vacant properties. If you have had this request, please notify the Association at 818-947-2252."
