Highways are racist now ask biden
It's also for Biden's plan.
Some have been for a long time.
Yes they are black and white
Which rich neighborhood was bulldozed for an interstate?
Being rich has nothing to do with color of skin
Many are rich that are black,white asian Hispanic
Just because you are poor....
beep boop
Which rich neighborhood was torn down for an interstate?
NPC line
900 DPH
McAllister Freeway here in SA. The Olmos Park people hated it and used a Conservation Society and Sierra Club lawsuit to stop it for years. Texas finally finished it without Federal funds...thats why it couldn't tie into loop 410 when it was built.

He’s not even making a joke. That’s an authentic response from Qhrisbot
Here's how Woke Clarence Thomas weighed in on urban renewal in 2005.

How many homes were bulldozed?
Small government conservatives defending the federal government for forcing people out of their homes in favor of a federal project is something I never thought I'd see, but then again it was just poor people.
Brackenridge Golf Course got shorter. What was the name of that sandwich stand on the back nine?
Jo's maybe? Remember going there with my dad in the early 1970s.
The hubbub over this, in both directions, is way overblown. There's been a social justice component to every federal project through NEPA since the 90s. This is nothing new. Biden is trying to get wokeness warm-fuzzy bonus points for doing something that has been a federal priority for almost 30 years now, and republicans are getting upset over projects that they wouldn't have thought twice about if it were just called a major highway reconstruction or major realignment instead of using words that popped up on their anti-wokeness radar.
Oh, and yes it is undeniable fact that a bunch of interstates were deliberately routed through poor neighborhoods. Segregation was often a motive, sometimes it was simply going where property could be acquired the cheapest. It sucks to be poor.
35 years in the business-not always but often the folks who get bought out for the road are HAPPY about it. Maybe those left nearby are not. Also nearby access has its benefits
Well, Joe did say it... Build Back Better...
Gotta demolish before we can build back, tbh
there's moar to transportation than moar lanes and moar parking lots for more cars
