The Overtown neighborhood in Miami, a majority-Black community, was “flattened,” also by I-95, forcing 10,000 people to leave their homes. And they moved to NW Dade County to better housing in Miami Gardens and Carol City.

East Tremont in the Bronx (The Cross-Bronx Expy), East Orange in NJ (I-280), and Clevelands West Side (I-90) had interstates blasted through. East Tremont and East Orange were pretty much ruined. So it’s not just minorities there hurt.

Haven’t we heard story after woke story that ‘forcing’ blacks to live near freeways was racist? That living near freeways affected the health of those living near them?Critical Race Theory: made for people who cannot handle logic. :-)

Thank goodness interstates only go through cities and not rural areas or farms or ranches. They weren’t affected at all.That's entirely correct. Why, they even have ranch exits out west!
Oh, wait. That means they DID go through farms and ranches!
