Robert Moses

everyone blames walter o' malley for moving the dodgers to los angeles , truth is he never wanted to leave brooklyn , you can this cocksucer robert moses for the dodgers leaving brooklyn !

New York would have been better if it was burned to the ground....NEW YORK SUCKS

While I side with most of Jacobs, her views weren't perfect, either. Jacobs argued for increased density, resulting in more activity and closer and diverse contact. One could look at how crowded and stank Chinatown is and see how her argument could have issues. Now, Main Street and Roosevelt Ave in Flushing, Queens (I call it Chinatown, Jr) is a bit more spread out, as opposed to Canal Street.

scatman, you should make sure to read her major work, "the death and life of american cities," or read it again if you have, focusing particularly on chapter 12: "some myths about diversity." therein she addresses your specific criticism in depth, and you might enjoy it.

This creep did nothing for NYC, but destroy it. And he almost destroyed Greenwich village and SoHo which has over 100 landmark buildings, to make a super highway in lower Manhattan. Thank God, that never happend. He favored super highways over public transportation. The should have buried him in Times Square on Broadway between 44th & 45th streets cuz now, it's a walking mall. That way when people walk by, they can step right on him. And some NYers will even spit on him.

good less fags in the city

Robert Moses should have bulldozed NYC and made it all freeways

robert moses was a two faced piece of crap, who forced the Dodgers to leave Brooklyn

LOL, you fool. She had the Rockefeller Foundation on her side, she didn't need no goddamned freeway controversy. That's your stupid historiographical cliche. That "hausfrau" has had more influence and power in life or death than your sorry ass ever will, or even your boyfriend Robert Moses.
