You know eminent domain for highways and “slum” clearing were real things that happened? There were literally bulldozers crushing peoples’ homes in some cases. And as for the slim clearing in NYC, people weren’t driven anywhere the government just told them to fuck off.
But the policies I’m referring to are around federal home lending programs that only lent money for suburban developments, the construction of interstate highways, paying for “slum clearing” in the 1950, and so on.
But why bother knowing anything about history…
