Thoughts on Robert Moses?
I think I've more or less covered them in my previous posts on the subject. I consider Moses to be a real tragedy for New York, because he was clearly someone of great political and adminstrative ability, but who was just fundamentally wrong about his core ideas relating to transportation and transit, and who used his abilities whenever and wherever possible to fuck over poor communities of color.
The most dangerous thing one can be is competent and evil at the same time.
