Just another way to weaken the United States, fund leftists, and discriminate against rural Americans.

"Let's remove these eyesore, crumbling highways. They are racist!"
"But we are going to spend tens of billions of dollars to renovate them in the new bill in congress."
"Highways are all racist! Spend the money on local social programs for people of color."
Don't you just love it?

Our drivers Hate going through Shreveport - that is usually the last load taken. Even the guys from the South say the place is too damn dangerous.

Drive through the city on Martin Luther King Boulevard or take the bypass around the city and drive an extra 30 miles?
Pretty easy decision.

Got it? Highways are racist. Why do they call it “blacktop?”
Its obvious, isn’t it? to oppress people of color

I-375 from I-75 to Jefferson Avenue in Detroit doesn’t serve any real good purpose. It would open up a lot of real estate. They could put Hastings Street back in and open some jazz and blues venues - maybe a hotel or two.

“highways to boulevards” program at the Congress for New Urbanism, a think tank devoted to walkable urban environments. A Senate bill introduced last year called for $10 billion to be spent on urban highway removals. Even Detroit, perhaps the most car-dominated US city, is considering removing a stretch of highway. “Now more than ever, in the age of Covid, people are rethinking how streets and the infrastructure around them serves the people who live in cities,”
6 lanes out in every direction and only 2 lanes in.
I thought that the 2020 riots and COVID had put a stake in the heart of the new urbanism. Detroit could get by with a dirt road just so long as I-275 and I-696 survive.

Yeah. They bulldozed plenty of white neighborhoods too. More than Blacks.

I am so mentally exhausted with the American mainstream media's constant black news coverage. Sometimes I just want to immigrate to whatever native English-speaking country has the lowest percentage of blacks in its national population. I know that's bad to say, but I'm just so over it...
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Yeah let’s see them tearing down Martin Luther King boulevard in some of these hellholes.

I think we’ve seen peak traffic. Telecommuting, virtual shopping, robotaxis, fine grained mass transit, etc. will cause reduced traffic in many, many ways.

Like many Black homes and neighborhoods across the country in the 1960s, it was bulldozed to clear space for highways. "White homes" were bulldozed in the 1960s for the Long Island Expressway and Cross-Bronx Expressway and many other roads. What utter bullshit.
