You need to get out of the NYC area and realize that very few places in the USA are "stuck in the 1800s".I have been all over the country, so don't need a push out of the NYC area. And in the 1930's-1960's all the cities by and large were expanding their road systems. There are people here that didn't want Moses to build any roads, but just transit. Hardly any cities were expanding their transit as opposed to their road/bridge infastructure in that era. Moses brought the federal money to NY, money that NY was in competition with other cities with. Again, it's foolish to jsut assume that if Moses didn't use the money for the "Whitestone Bridge and the Cross Island", that it would have been used for the "2nd AVe subway" instead. No it would have went elsewhere, and we wouldn't have had the Whitestone OR the 2nd Ave subway.... |
