Yes, I agree that it wasn't only "slums" that were taken down. there obviously were good buildings, as well as bad buildings in the path of the roads, or in the path of clearing for projects. I was responding to the "took people out of functioning housing, and put them in projects" part of the comment. I was trying to show that while now we can see the ill effects of housing projects and bulldozing of neighborhoods, even if bad housing was originally well intentioned. Through time, and learning we have learned better ways, but at the time, not only was it a different thought, there were also a lot of buildings in need of upgrading out there, in all the boroughs. |
