Any interstate built involves a destruction of something that currently exists, whether its a neighborhood or farms or forests.

MOST interstate highways were built by utilizing existing highways and simply widening the right-of-way. That is bad enough, but not really comparable to the highways under attack, which completely re-routed existing roadways at the expense of dividing or destroying existing neighborhoods.
