Developer Builds Around Woman's Home

Isn't there some other woman like this? I believe in Atlantic City, NJ, where she refused to move to make way for some mega-casino, and the developer just went ahead and sandwiched her house in between the buildings.

SEATTLE (AP) - When 86-year-old Edith Macefield refused a $1 million offer to move from her Seattle home, a developer started building a five-story project around it.
Macefield said that she doesn't need the money and that she doesn't want to move from her home, where she has lived since 1966. A concrete wall looms within feet of her kitchen window as the project rises.

Macefield's 108-year-old house is the last home on the block near the Ballard bridge.

Macefield said that she doesn't mind the noise of the construction site.
