At least they went around, in America they just bulldozed right through black communities to build highways.
I live in a pretty small city and the working class/black district (now the bougie gentrifier district) was split from downtown by a highway. There's a single pedestrian bridge that's padlocked shut half the time. You have to take a car to get into town. 60 years ago, there were 2 tram lines that went from downtown to the neighborhoods that are now split off. That got torn out of the ground of course and they decided to just cut 10 feet off every building downtown to expand the road instead.
yeah uh, back in the jiang/hu days the government would often sponsor local criminals to come harass your house/location if you or your community didnt want to vacate for development for whatever reason

iirc sometimes the projects were adapted so the people could still have access to their house, though not always
