Looking at the broad view, Robert moses did receive a disproportionate amount of public outlays starting in the 1930s. This was not part of a national trend. Robert Moses led the trend.Correct, Moses was very good at getting money HERE. Probably more FEDERAL money than he should have, but he GOT it here. Again, it's not like that FEDERAL money would have come here instead for transit, it would have instead went to some other city for THEIR bridge or road project. Just about no one was building transit at the time. Again, the problem is not that Robert Moses got money for roads and bridges, the problem was there wasn't a similar guy doing that for transit, but then again, no one really had such a person at the time. |
