They act like but for the interstate North Claiborne would be some thriving black business district. But they ignore the fact that South Claiborne, which is not burdened by the interstate, is also a crime ridden shitehole in the areas where it is surrounded by the hood. Hint: The elevated expressway isn't the problem.
Before the elevated interstate went up, that stretch was like Esplanade Ave, with a neutral ground full of live oaks.
-But- can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

Yeah, but what was the population like?
As bad as today?

I am no fan of ugly elevated expressways. I hate them, in fact. But this boneheaded idea would cripple the port, and make going east difficult for people coming from downtown and the westbank.
Btw, when the thing was built, it had a designated 40 year life span. We are now getting close to 60. It is going to come down eventually, whether it is removed, replaced, or it falls on somebody's head.

I think TheHaraharian would agree that when the Interstate system plowed through North and South Claiborne in the early "60's it was primarily white families which were relocated. Am I right? That being the case how then can anyone claim the roadway to be a racist roadway? Are people not considering the population shift between then and now?
