I have no idea what the next commenters point is, people are often moved around for big projects. Or do you imagine that they just let people drown when buildin

  Large numbers of people were not relocated to build the Hoover Damn. Maybe you're not familiar with that region, it was not a population center of any consequence. The US has vastly different laws and practices than China when it comes to forcing people to move. Relocating a million people in this day and age, would simply never happen. Even the correctly maligned practice of using eminent domain for corporate benefit is exceedingly rare (even though it gets a lot of press). In fact, the US has the exact opposite problem - the inability to expand cities like San Francisco because the people won't allow it.
