Homeowners in collapsed Minhang building's complex demanding refunds

collapsedminhang.jpg Following the collapse of the 13-floor unfinished building in Minhang, over 250 home owners have demanded refunds or compensation from the developers of the "Lotus Riverside" compound. While the government sorts out what type of compensation the angry homeowners should get, it has stopped the developer, Shanghai Meidu Real Estate, from selling anymore of its 629 homes and taken "appropriate control measures" against nine people. The tower toppled over on Saturday morning, killing one worker who had gone in to fetch his tools. 132 households were evacuated shortly after the collapse. They returned to "Lotus Riverside" on Sunday night after their homes were confirmed safe. Source: Xinhua

I predict the homeowners will be "harmonized" for the good of society.
