Agreed.

The destruction of black-owned neighborhoods for freeways is very much worth studying. Sweet Auburn had 30,000 residents displaced, turning a once prosperous and flourishing neighborhood into a crime-ridden shell of its former self.

I am left dreaming about what Atlanta may have looked like if they prioritized public transit and … not pursuing explicitly racist policies. I believe in a world where we can rapidly build and roll out infrastructure for everyone without destroying so much.
