      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.

      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.

          Should clarify: in Portland he didn't use racial component. We'd already made it super white. KKK, redlined, racial exclusion laws, etc.

          I focused on those communities specifically as they are under threat from ICE and it highlights a specific intersectionality.

          Space travel is a sort of infrastructure. So are solar panels, and the residential battery. We'll see on the hyperloop.

          It's a possibility, but what connects Musk to Moses beyond wanting to make car tunnels? Doesn't seem v tight connection to me.
