Yeah, dams and reservoirs that obliterated not just those towns but any and all surrounding habitats - while also in many cases interfering with fish stocks/migration. "Greater good" indeed.

Maybe we should be tearing down those dams before quibbling over a gravel road.

They also created new habitats.

For some reason I doubt the creation v. destruction works out in the favor of dams.
