Posted by Michael549 on Mon Jan 5 01:01:22 2009, in response to Re: Why was 179th St/Jamaica 13 years late?, posted by Russ on Sun Jan 4 17:08:10 2009. Russ, I am in full agreement with what you and others have written about Robert Moses, and his activities and the consequences, etc. However, there were ideas and movements for different living arrangements well before Robert Moses became the Power Broker in power in NYC.The "city nightmare" model (walk-up crowded tenements, noisy el-trains, etc) was not well favored by many, even if that was what was available for long periods of time. Again, as I had stated in the previous message, there were a lot of interests from any sectors for a different kind of living arrangement, and not just in or around New York City. Again, I am not disputing what has been said about Robert Moses, but some issues were broader than him. Mike |
