Why do they have their own castle?
Gee I wonder what types of people used to live in those neighborhoods that were eviscerated for the highways…were they by any chance a minority?
Curiously, cinci is seriously rethinking that specific stretch of road. There are currently plans oto kinda turn a bunch of it into a park…you’ll never guess who started moving in to the west end a few years back…
Yeah I was trying to think of how this could have happened. Maybe large developments in the suburbs? Then this part of town just became an area you drive through, to get where you are going. Maybe some low rent apartments there where mostly people of color lived. Add crime and mismanagement. Then eventually it’s ripe for the teardown. What a waste.
Came here to say just that. Yup.
That went from a place I would have liked to explore to an ugly hellscape I’d never want to be trapped in.
Can confirm, it’s a spaghetti mess here. It’s not a pleasant driving experience, and it certainly isn’t a pleasant living experience.
it’s a spaghetti mess here
I mean, considering the chili…
and still houses more people, probably. because are those single-family homes in the background?
goddamn
So if we go back to the 50s, where do we put the rubble from highway demolition?
Where did they out the evidently much larger amounts of housing/building demolition rubble?

Uses for Recycled Concrete
- Road Bases: Crushed concrete serves as a sturdy foundation for new roads, parking lots, and driveways.
- New Concrete: Fine and coarse aggregate mixes can be added into fresh concrete mixtures.
- Landscaping: Large chunks and gravel act as retaining wall material, drainage stone, or decorative ground cover.
Recycled concrete, especially the smaller pieces, often produces high pH runoff. It is adequate for road base, can be used with new concrete, and an environmental disaster when used in landscaping. Seen piles of it produce 12.5 ph puddles.
Fuck off with this AI slop
No. I’m not on the insane war you are. At a certain point you are just being a Luddite. I can use ai to make a list without destroying people’s lives. It’s fine.
Your brain must be rotted beyond comprehension if you lack the skills to write a simple list
It’s a time issue not a skill issue.
Sure, yeah, fuck cars…
But was it supposed to look better in the top picture?
Like the second picture at least has a green space.
Not saying the second looks better… But definitely not worse
The green areas sem to be mostly grass, which while pretty, are bad at providing shade, carbon capture, and use a lot of water. So, better than a parking lot, but not by a lot.
You might not be considering the natural areas that needed to be destroyed to move all of those people and businesses. Density is better than sprawl for the environment for that reason.
