Agreed 100%!I just will never understand his insistence on "the car is king." Also, he was mean for the sake of being mean, especially because the Authority setup, where by selling bonds you can basically "print" money, helped make him a King, like it or not. You're right - In a way its good Moses built what he did, because today nothing can be built, and it isn't just from a $ point of view. The whole process is too complicated. I can't imagine two bridges being built within sight of each other, i.e. the Whitestone and Throgs Neck. The bottom line to me is, Moses could've been looked upon as a hero had he "caved" and allowed projects such as a rapid transit line down the Van Wyck to be built. Reminds me of Benedict Arnold - before he became a traitor, he could have been remembered as a hero. Bad judgement on both their parts. |
