A lot of people will never accept that no transit money was lost because of Moses. The very fact that there was never a hint of bribery or corruption during his reign is in itself a NYC miracle. Moses also cannot be blamed for tearing down the Els or other missed transportation improvements like capturing the Old Rock although many will do so anyway because he's an easy target for everything that went wrong since he left. The truth is that we had brain-dead zombies running NY's transit agencies during Moses' time. Had the same kind of people also been running the parks and highways during that time we would have been left with a sorry excuse of a city. Every major corporation and institution would have abandoned it. Had Bob Moses still been in around in the 80s, Westway would have been built and completed on time and under budget with the Feds paying for most of it and we would have had a great new park on top of that. At least I'm glad that all that federal money for Westway went to the subways. Oh wait...it didn't! It went to other cities! I'm sure some here will curse Moses' ghost for that one too. The many may have been an arrogant prick but I'm thankful that we got him instead of some other place. |
