        Back in the early 20th Century, Robert Moses became *the* titan of urban planning. He was responsible for much of NYC's still extant infra.

        A number of things were happening. Cars were becoming cheaper and more accessible. NYC was growing, leading to development in Long Island.

        Moses was pro-automobile and anti-public transit. When he built bridges, he refused to add rail support, though he could have.

        He refused, for instance, to build subway connectors along the Verrazano to Staten Island.http://ny.curbed.com/2014/5/22/10096344/the-planned-subway-lines-that-never-got-built-151-and-why …

        These things seemed obvious, even at the time. His motivation for not building them was more sinister: poor people used public transit.

        In Long Island, he built low-clearance bridges over the Parkways leading to Jones Beach State Park, almost 200 in total.

        This effectively denied bus access to the destination, blocking out Black folks from Harlem.

        He could have run the Cross Bronx through East Tremont along Crotana Park, but chose instead to run it through a Jewish neighborhood.

        Robert Moses weaponized Civil Engineering and Urban Planning to suppress marginalized communities. Engineering is always political.

        Elon Musk doesn't strike me as an innovator when he talks about building tunnels and subways. He strikes me as Robert Moses.

        Who are these tunnels going to serve? The Latino communities in LA? Or are we just running them straight to the rich neighborhoods?

        Robert Moses permanently shaped the cultural landscape of New York City. It is what it is because of him. But it is what is because of him.

        Musk will surely want some serious $$$ related to hyperloop or whomever gets it done. Traveling from LA to NY in an hour. $$$.

        People would be priced out. Demand high. Only high earners would be getting many of the advantages. More haves and have nots.
