“ Interstates destroying neighborhoods is a real thing…”
Although a lot of that was to put roads through areas of cheaper property to keep costs down. There are also lots of cases of farmers having their acreage split, or having access cut off because all the local roads got dead-ended at the interstate.
Pete doesn’t want clear the log jam in Longbeach. He wants to create all-new problems.
Plus, most roads are bisexual; they go either way.
The only reason that Peter the Butt Buttigieg doesn’t go after “black top” as “racist” is because it has the word “ass” in it. Am I bad or what? Do I give a crap? No!
Imagine reducing access to freeways from frontage roads to and from small towns, massive resultant reductions in property values suburban, commercial and agricultural and functional reduction of related enterprise. Rural existence could be made very difficult and of no consequence to B. who thinks racism is applicable to roads and everything else too.
There could be no worldwide shortage of buyers for US rural property at bargain basement prices a few years from now. Pay or play reestablishment of connectivity to major roadways could become the game to play as it is played ubiquitously now and for decades past.
“Poo Of Color”
You’ll never flush the same way, again.
How about we rebuild the highways for Peoples of Color and let the Peoples of Non Color fly around in aerosleds.
Racist Roads - Sounds like the subject of a family guy cutaway
Wait till Kamala finds out acorns from white oaks are somewhat edible, while ones from red oaks and black oaks are bitter.
dissapearing seem popular these days....hint hint...
Actually goes back to FDR, IIRC
Highways were built on the cheapest right of way possible.
They were looking at dead presidents, not people of color.
In America 2.0, even the roads are racist.
Black trees matter.
This country get dumped in the twilight zone?
Everything is racist.
Red apple trees next. Red mocks the Indians.
Can’t have Red Skin football team.
Endless stupidity.
If you look around downtowns you will often see plenty of vacant lots. There were once houses on many of those lots. The houses were torn down because it was cheaper to tear them down than to bring them up to code.
In Washington, DC, the Golden Triangle office district was once a mainly black slum. The area went from cheap white housing to cheap black housing to parking lots to office buildings.
Actually goes back beyond FDR. But Ike signed the major legislation that enabled it. Plenty of other stuff to blame LBJ for.
This is an administration of lunatics.
In the past rich neighborhoods were often built on hills.
This was because rich landowners built their mansions on hills so they could better see that the help was working. When it became necessary to subdivide the land due to increased taxes, house builders chose to build expensive new houses near the nice old mansion.
By about 1875 rich neighborhoods started getting built pretty far from the city center. This was because the land was cheaper and there were no nuisances nearby.
In Seattle, they had no choice but run run I-5 through an affluent neighborhood.
There is a book called “The Changing Metropolis” that mentions how 19th Century railways were run through slums to get closer into central London. These English slums had white people living in them.
