But every nieghborhood has its own characteristics. For example, much of Queens (though admittedly, not all) was still undeveloped in the post WW2 period, and there was less of a community to devastate in the first place. Then, the new community gre up around the highways. The CBE, on the other hand sliced right through exiting communities...Now decades later, new communities are growing up around it, similar to what happened in Queens and Staten Island...but this "required" destruction and devastation of all that came before- with the associated consequences. Also, as far as Bed-Stuy and Bushwick, with no expressways, going down, well, Moses still had a lot to do with the idea of building high-rise low income housing with no communities and no street life, and concrete, rather than green parks...in other words, his ideas for urban development did tremendous damage all around. I'm glad he wasn't able to build his parkways through the Staten island Greenbelt. |
