Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Apr 23 12:30:46 2012, in response to Re: The South Bronx of the 1980's, posted by MainR3664 on Mon Apr 23 07:20:32 2012. 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...No, the Long Island Expressway did look at the historic aerials I just posted in the other post. The Expressway through western queens cut through neighborhoods just like the CB did in the Bronx. 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. That's not what happened to Bushwick. The neighborhood fell, and the reason projects came was because the land was cleared because the neighborhood was all burnt out. Moses didn't destroy Bushwick, that's another scapegoat. |
