New York City would have died without the vision of Bob Moses. It would have ended up like Detroit and so many other formerly great American cities. The man may have been arrogant and stubborn but that is the only way to get things done in NY. Nothing of public importance has been built here since he left the scene. Imagine NYC had Moses never existed. It would have become a dump. My only beefs with him is his contempt for mass transit and the overt racial implications of his housing policies. I'm glad that some of his projects like the LOMEX were shot done. Other then that I wish we had a modern day more sensible and transit oriented version of Robert Moses. There was never any whiff of malfeasence in his work. His legacy stands the test of time. It seems that the biggest gripe here is that he didn't bend to O'Malley's blackmail. Any public servant who shuns requests of handouts to the rich and other corporate welfare should be commended instead of vilified. |
