No one really cared (apart from the residents) when they were 'bulldozed' though. It was only when the works moved into the higher class areas that the project got serious push-back.<br /><br />@ James: It seems that way. Haussmann had multiple 'hats' too and wasn't a trained architect or engineer but used both to get his overall plan completed. It looks like both were equally controversial too!
