Until they start holding airlines responsible for intentionally booking flights that there is no crew to service, I don’t want to see the transportation department doing anything about “rectifying decades old inequalities”.

It’s not really a secret that the highways cut through the poor areas of town and split up neighborhoods. But it’s 2022…it’s been 60 years. You live, learn, adapt, move on. But that would make people accountable.
I think it’s sad that some flourishing neighborhoods in Detroit, New Orleans, Cleveland, etc were split up. But years ago, folks stuck together and didn’t resort to shooting someone every time shite went wrong.

Interstate placement was kinda racist, though. Maybe more classist, but racist too. They rarely built interstates through rich, white neighborhoods and instead bulldozed right through poor, mostly black neighborhoods. They bulldozed poor white neighborhoods, but most of the inner city neighborhoods where interstates were placed were poor and black. This is kind of one of those things that I don't really see an argument with. It happened.

It’s a chicken / egg argument because obviously you’d want to use your lowest value land to build interstates

Who would have thought that when building interstates through cities, the government would have tried to maximize our dollars by buying up land that cost less?

if you had to buy a few million acres of land to just bulldoze, you buying the cheap shite with easily destroyed shacks or the highest dollar property around with massive homes on it?

Pretty sure it was all those white house guest visitations to Barry that set him up. Check the logs

I’m sure no one will misappropriate any of these funds for this BS program lol

On a serious end. Dismantling the Claiborne overpass in New Orleans would be fricking stupid and potentially economically suicidal.
But go ahead.....dumbshits.

Don’t worry.
The money will go to Democratic cities which will get lost.
Or
They will make it harder for people to come into or leave the hood.
It will make it harder to bring the cost of goods and services into these areas.
I guess they could send other grants for food deserts.

Without accounting for an alternate route it certainly would be.
Could potentially help traffic, but Louisiana would frick that up quickly.

My neighbors house backs up to I12 so can we claim racism here in Covington?

The reason while most white folks roll their eyes at the racist stuff is because it’s used so often and about stuff that racism has nothing to do with that the word doesn’t have a meaning anymore.
While you may have a point concerning a lot of things, there is a reason why I-10 bottlenecks and turns right coming off the Bridge rather than continuing straight ahead, and it’s socioeconomic in nature.
Edit to add: I’m not sure how any of these efforts “solve” anything or whatever the goal is…besides siphoning money from taxpayers, securing votes, and signaling virtue.

I wonder where this fiction happened. In Texas, at least, highways mostly followed older roads and railroad rights of way.
The Biden administration is a sick joke.

It happened, but it had a lot more to do with poor than it did with black.
