Well, romanticism aside, things had changed by the time that Robert Moses was going to construct his expressway through Manhattan. Moses had gratuitously screwed people over for speculative gain, and people were slow to forget. Obviously, the creation of the Wholly Ronan Empire - the MTA - also drastically cut and eliminated Moses' power.There has always been politically effective NIMBYism for as long as there's been politics. Of course, with the factionalization of politics and the legalizing of American culture, effective NIMBYism is increasingly effective. |
