Even in the Midwest you see little doglegs in county and state highways where it’s obvious one farmer would not part with a 40 ft slice of land at the edge of his property so the road has to swing into his neighbors and then back.

Now, was the farmer some influential person who could convince the city or state to route around? Probably. It's never the case that the government couldn't do it if they wanted to though.
