I think his complaint is that they DID go through black neighborhoods. Picking up slums for pennies on the dollar, using eminent domain. I know a guy who owned property in this lily white town in the 1970’s when I-495 went through, and he got $250/acre on land worth at least twenty times that, even back then.
I think the more important question is ...Do the interstates discriminate against crossdressers?
