Turning slums into freeways is classic urban renewal.

It benefits everyone.

What happens when you put libs with a big chip on their shoulder in positions of authority.

One reason highways go through black neighborhoods is due to the fact that purchasing right of way is much less costly.

But even so, putting the highways in those areas ends up making their property more valuable.

Foxx is a fool with a big chip on his shoulder.

Fuel stops, eating facilities, shopping centers all follow the big road.

Driving interstate highways through residential neighborhoods is a pretty sure way to create slums.

I lived in Detroit in the early “80’s, when Coleman Young
used the power of Eminent Domain to take homes away from the people in the I-94-Mount Elliott neighborhood for what became the GM Poletown factory. So, was Soulman Young a Racist?
