Those are the SPECIFIC addresses that fled to CO-OP city ... and CAUSED the blight. Who would refuse the offers of "3 months RENT FREE, NO DEPOSIT" to replace the former occupants? THERE was where it all went downhill. :(And not only COop City....but the suburbs too.... There was an exodus even before the Cross Bronx....the bronx was in trouble way before the Cross Bronx came to town. Sure, it didn't help matters, but the Bronx would have fallen just as hard... There would have been even more empty housing as people fled if it not had been for a lot of housing being taken away for the Cross Bronx. There are many factors involved in the collapse of the Bronx, and this goes way beyond one road and one man. And that's all I was trying to say too....you can't use Robert Moses as the scapegoat for all of NYC's problems, they would have been there regardless. |
