You know, the first city I lived in on the east coast of China had a big fancy road to a shiny new high speed rail station, but it went by some very low-income areas that were considered by some to be too ugly for the eyes of drivers to view, so they built giant billboards to cover the area up. There's always that possibility, I suppose.
