"We perfected the solution in the 1950s...tear down the slums to build city freeways and expressways. We called it “Urban Renewal.”

Blacks here called that racist because it tore down the only houses they could afford.

Some of the stories of the ill-fated "urban renewal" are quite tragic. This was part and parcel of the destruction of the black family. Watch The Tragedy of Urban Renewal: The destruction and survival of a New York City neighborhood.

My comment was meant to be tongue-in-cheek about the continual failures of liberal nostrums.
