Re <<gloomy>> … depends on political lens.

Arguably might lead to more peace or conflict, especially given the demographic shifts inexorably underway. I remain agnostic on merit and trajectory and destination. All new and so watch & brief.

However, I must admit that I have heretofore thought of highway design as a racial issue. Interesting in an academic way.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Monday that his agency will use about $1 billion from President Joe Biden’s public works legislation to remedy racial inequities in U.S. highway design, such as roads that were built to separate predominantly minority neighborhoods from White communities.

The program, called “Reconnecting Communities,” in some cases will tear down or rebuild highways and overpasses, he said. Federal officials will consider local desires as they identify projects, he said at a White House briefing.
