See the one this morning about the folks in Nanhui getting divorced and remarried to collect more relocation compensation money? There's a lot of discussion (including people getting banned) of relocation due to new metro construction on nhmetro.org.

So is there a mandarin (or shanghainese) translation of that PE standby "fight the power"?

For more ground level, voice of the people insights i'd suggest you take a walk past another area that's planned for demolition: the large block is bordered by shi men yi lu, wei hai lu, qing hai lu and wu jiang lu. Head to the ke di opposite the 4 Seasons on shi men yi lu any evening after 8pm to see (and hear - depending on your comprehension of Shanghainese) crowds of soon-to-relocated folks discussing relocation compensation packages. Given the colder months you could be excused for thinking these guys were just standing around enjoying each others radiating heat, but get closer and you'll hear more about the pained plight of the relocated.
