Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Jul 24 18:54:31 2007, in response to Jane Jacobs Re: Cross Manhattan expressway, posted by Rail Blue on Tue Jul 24 10:21:49 2007. Jacobs was not the first person to stand up to Moses, but she was probably the first one to successfully do it. As much as we should praise her and Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis for ending the era of "tear it down, no matter what", we seem to now have gone to the other extreme. If an ordinary Bronx housing project can claim landmark status as the "birth of hip-hop", then we've lost our collective minds. |
