Have you considered that not all places have the emotional baggage like your Atlanta?

You might consider that many many more places than Atlanta have this same baggage, all because of Robert Moses's advice.

I grew up in Nashville and it also had a vibrant black neighborhood split in half by a highway. It was explicitly how Moses told planners across the country to get highways built it happened everywhere.

What big city in the USA has not had redlining or had highways blasted over disadvantaged racial minority communities? I'll wait while you look that one up.

Every single real estate fortune in this country is built on theft, corruption and lies. I've worked for a couple of them and seen it at the highest levels. The most recent places I worked had lists of zip codes they were targeting, dip into those stats a bit and you see a pattern.

Hell this country is founded on the practice of stealing and reallocating land ownership on the basis of race. Its our favorite tradition.
