[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like to see some support for renewed investment in Baltimore. Someone who would support converting that freeway-to-nowhere US 40 into a boulevard that could reunite neighborhoods long blighted by that road. Md could easily snag federal funding for that.

Also someone who would back the redevelopment of the State Center (Metro Subway Link) station, surrounded by blocks of parking lots, blight, and soon to be abandoned state office buildings. What a waste of real estate in the heart of the city. Politicians have been talking about redeveloping that area for years with no progress. I’m sure there are federal funds (economic development funds and block grants) the state could get.[/quote]

Roads are not racist. Roads allow people to get to work in placed that are not near their homes. Why should people be limited to employment and leisure to places that are within walking distance?[/quote]

Roads are not racist, but the decisions about where to build and not build those roads sure can be racist. The slogan about "white men's roads through black men's homes" comes from right here in DC, and in fact that particular highway was not built; Metro was built instead.

It should go without saying that Metro allows people to get to work in places that are not near their homes, and that there are ways to get to employment and leisure that don't involve driving a car on a road.
