"After a row with developers, this family's home has been left perched 12m (40ft) up on its own concrete island."
"Rumoured to have government connections, the family is not expected to be forced out.
But popping to the shops might be a bit difficult. And as for getting the car out of the garage – well, who knows?"
The view must be great!

Once they fill the crater with water, they'll have a secluded, private island.

I know, but the article that came with the news didn't say what they took for it, or what else was offered, only what they turned down.

They were offered an apartment in the building that will eventually occupy that site but turned it down because it was on the upper floors. I understand they also turned down a fairly substantial cash offer ($235.000?) Right now they're in an apartment in a different location but there's no more information than that.
