That would be about as intelligent as living below sea level.

Yeah, guess I'm on the edge of stupid then, or used to be for most of my life anyway, just like more than half of my countrymen?
You are so nice.
I would not have a problem living downstream a dam, if its design is inherently safe. The China dam wasn't and the Laos dam wasn't either. 70 meter of water and it wasn't even completed, let alone operational.
The Hoover dam had a bypass. The Laos dam did not, apparently. Stupid, irresponsible, but not relevant to hydropower in most other countries.
