People got forced to move and displaced for the Skyline Drive? Who lived on top of those ridges and steep mountainsides? You would think they would have been compensated. Do you have a link for this?
A link? Hell there's volumes written on it
Also while you're researching - look at all the families displaced in prince William county during the Quantico marine base expansion
Books on that topic too
Many

So, you don't have a link about displaced families from when the Skyline Drive was built. I know there are all kinds of bad stories about eminent domain pushing people off their property. Heck, there are even horror stories of Trump pushing old ladies around to build casino's and golf courses. You mentioned Skyline Drive. I have been from one end to the other on foot, motorcycles, and cars and can't think of too many places where people would have homesteads, farms, etc.
That project was an economic boom for one of the most depressed areas in America, Appalachia.
