I didn't remember how much Lindsay had to do with it. While he wasn't the best Mayor, he certainly tried a lot of things, some of them disastrous failures like scatter site housing and his super agencies. But I give him credit for trying. I can't remember anything positive happening during the horrible twelve Wagner years. The city just deteriorated. Not a single local roadway was rebuilt during his administration. Everything just rotted. The only time a road was rebuilt was for a block or two in conjunction with a sewer project. The buses rattled like crazy because every major road was in disrepair even the brand new buses. It wasn't until Lindsay and subsequent administrations that entire arterial roads were reconstructed. Don't know how much Wagner was to blame or was it because all the money was going to Moses' projects? |
