and that is just the point isn't it. The urban renewal of that era assumed Keynesian pump priming with highly paid union contractors building cookie cutter neo tenements would be better public policy than encouraging one by one rehabs as have occurred more recently in the hoods not bulldozed back then. Most importantly, the urban freeways such as the Dan Ryan savaged public transit usage. All of this was indeed linked to the postwar suburbanization/urban abandonment moves. Would you like fries with that SUV?
