We had the same thing happen where I grew up. The land at the end of the road, where a creek ran, was taken over by expropriation, and a highway (the 440) was put there. They had built a hospital in the middle of the woods and farmer's fields, and had to extend a highway to it. Now everything is gone: the woods, the creek, the farmer's fields. It is now a major highway, a hospital and housing developments. A little farther north, they expropriated farmland to build an airport, then provided inadequate transport to it. A couple decades later, they closed the airport and decided to expand one inside the city with very little land around it to expand into. Now they're after the golf course that backs on to it. If they had stuck with the original plan, none of this nonsense would be happening now, all over again.
