So are you inspired and or angry at big government for doing what the private sector should've been able to do on their own, OP?

They did this in New Orleans with the I-10 and in DC with I-295.

Government is going to do what government is going to do. Yet, you guys have the nerve to be mad at the free market. This is why I never ever support the government under any circumstances. Racism is solely a function of government, the free market is free of racism. I'll let you guys cook though.

Saw the title and already knew it was a Segregation by Design post.

They did this everywhere you see a freeway in a metro area. The 95, 195, and 395 pretty much player connect the dots with destroying black neighborhoods in Miami.

There is racism in the planning of American interstates dating back from their inception

shyt like this will be banned from discussion in schools as "CRT". Cacs want to pretend like this never happened.

Add Orlando to the list

It's happened in almost every major metropolitan area I've visited or read about in the US

I wonder if there are many(any) exceptions

I was going through that website because I have interest in city planning and jeez, even the southern cities looked like proper world cities in the 40s and 50s. Densely populated, street cars, mixed use developments, etc.

Damn shame what they did by running those ugly ass free ways through cities. I always say, the bad things they do to blacks people ends up affecting everybody.

Well atleast some cities are trying to rectify. There are proposals in Atlanta now to alter the 75/85 connector that runs through the city to go along with the beltline.
