We’ve all heard stories about home owners who refuse to sell when big commercial projects are planned to be built around their property … well 86 year old Edith Macefield is another property owner who refused to move from her home when developers from Seattle decided to build a commercial property in her neighborhood.

Macefield refused an offer of 1 million dollars to move.

They’ve decided to go ahead with their project and her home will have a five story construction project around and beside her home.

“I don’t want to move. I don’t need the money. Money doesn’t mean anything,” she said.

There’s one house downtown here in Toronto that looks so tiny with a huge 20 story building almost on top of it. I imagine that Mrs. Macefield’s home will look like that too!
