Posted by Andrew Saucci on Mon Sep 16 21:27:06 2019, in response to NY Daily News: Robert Moses’ Name Should Be Removed from Public Works, posted by Mitch45 on Sun Sep 15 23:24:54 2019. I sometimes wonder if anything should be named after anybody. I also sometimes wonder if the people making these suggestions are as perfect as they want us to think they are. And if we start taking names off things, we can start with the bridge that was erected on the site of the demolished Tappan Zee Bridge. The man for whom the new bridge was named, while looking like a saint compared to his son, had some reprehensible beliefs in my estimation.Moses-- I think he hated people in general from what I can gather. He would have been happy to build roads that no one used. He was an equal-opportunity demolitionist who, after bulldozing low-income neighborhoods in New York City went on to bulldoze middle-class neighborhoods in Nassau County (half of the current RoW of the Southern State Parkway runs over bulldozed properties as does a good chunk of the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway) and would have been happy to bulldoze upper-class neighborhoods in Oyster Bay if the people there didn't have the money and power to stop him. |
