Moses shouldn't be used as a scapegoat for just about everything, but you can't deny his overwhelming influence and how he ruled using fear which resulted in good and bad. No one is denying the good he did as far as parks are concerned, and he does deserve credit for his roads.But he did divert money from mass transit, just as he diverted money from needed schools and hospitals. Everything else that he did not control suffered during his years. I know you disagree, but not allowing mass transit in the medians of the Van Wyck or LIE when they would have been cost effective then, that is the same as diverting money from mass transit. Yes he brought in a lot of federal money, but if his policies were more balanced and he was not such an egomaniac, he could have accomplished more good with less of the bad that is associated with him. |
