      I wanna talk a sec about public transit and Elon Musk in a serious sort of way not sarcastically.

      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.

          So what are you doing about it. You know Emily's efforts, and cant sort of 'force' her do more.
