Remember, there were MANY factors involved here, not just the "cross Bronx". You had a stead exodus of people from the "city" to the suburbs, people looked at the city as old fashioned. The Bronx would have fallen anyway, you can't blame it all on the Cross Bronx (although granted, while I don't believe it caused the exodus, it probably didn't help it, but it would have fallen anyway).Again, I point you to other parts of the Bronx, and to Bushwick, Bedford Stuyvesant, East New York, Brownsville, and the list goes on....most of which were stable great neighborhoods right through the 50's also....and they all fell too (and hard), just like the Bronx, and none of them had an expressway blasted through their neighborhoods..... |
