Thank you. Saw this happen in Chicago - the mayor at the time lied to working class ethnic communities - and here in Denver, where the issue has been contested for years regarding the severing of communities by I-70. People take infrastructure for granted as if it was created through acts of nature.
While growing up in a neighborhood on the East side of Columbus Ohio I recall when the city announced plans to run a freeway through our neighborhood. 9 or 10 at the time, the thought of our community being destroyed and my friends being dispersed evoked an enormous amount of fear in my brother and I.
