Vastly Different Google Satellite and Street Views

What sort of areas have a satellite view on Google Maps that on Street View looks way different, either because of outdated satellite imagery, rapid development, or some other factor?

Some examples:
An unassuming two lane road with some minor residential developments to the north on satellite becomes this in a 2019 GSV.

US-53 has been on a completely different alignment in Virginia, MN for like five years now and yet the satellite image is still showing the former configuration.   

(I am specifically looking for examples of satellite views that are misleading based on a more current street view, not outdated street views that are misleading based on satellite views, which are far more common. Also, bonus points if Google doesn't even have the new configurations that are shown in the street view mapped out like in my first example  :D)

Satellite view still shows the I-71/MLK interchange under construction when it's been open since 2017, which street view has. Also the blocks surrounding MLK between I-71 and US 42 are in a project called the Uptown Gateway, which neither satellite or gsv are really up to date on.

Today I was trying to figure out exactly what date the GSV on my street was taken. It tells you the month and year obviously. I was able to narrow it down to two or three different possibilities.

Bozeman Paine Circle (Old Bozeman road) is clearly marked on satellite, But it has been undrivable north of present Bozeman road for at least 20 years and there's now a gate that closes it off. You can't even use street view to see the full alignment.
Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)
