I is estimated that over 1,000,000 Chinese will be displaced from their homes by Olympic related construction. I am not sure if this incident falls under that category but it is definately related.
A lot are positive about it, even though some very significant cultural sites are being removed, at least significant to those who have lived there for centuries. But as this article mentions the corruptness involved in a lot of this is very sad. A lot of people are getting screwed out of their houses for nothing through legal loopholes.
