[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Many US cities were going to get a inner loops/spurs, but some white neighborhoods revolted. Today nearly all of those neighborhoods that rejected highways are the most valuable and desirable real estate.[/quote] By the 1970s the black neighborhoods also had the power to stop highway construction. Right now, travelers going on I95 from New York to Florida have to take the Capital Beltway because there is no highway that goes through Washington DC., This is because of strong opposition from black neighborhoods in DC fighting "a white man's road through a black man's bedroom" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Central_Freeway_(Washington,_D.C.)[/quote]
