I tell people to not watch any Moses interviews until you read The Power Broker. He spouts information that simply isn't true, and his beliefs and opinions just did not match reality. Also, for much of his reign he had every news outlet squarely in his corner. They're not going to challenge him or look into what he did. So for much of his career all anyone ever saw or heard from either him or the press were the positives. Notice how he talks about clearing people via slum clearance programs for the Lincoln Center...and he says it with zero remorse and the interviewer doesn't even try to challenge it. Once you read The Power Broker, all these interviews take on a new light.

If I held that particular view, that linguistics in the United States seem to be devolving over time, a sort of harkening back to a more civilized time, a more civilized or formal tone in public life, I would refrain to do what you have done here which is to use crass language and abbreviations to make that point. It seems to me that it undermines your argument to some extent, that you choose personally to engage in this “new” language rather than imitating and by imitating provide an example that can be used to revive your idea of the older way of speaking. Of course I am no linguist myself, I would consider myself to be more of a fish man. But in my work with fish one tends to see every manner of speech, from the haughtiest gentleman to the roughest dock worker, and I can say that all forms of language can and do coexist within every society and there’s little that we can do about it.

A very poor interview. Why not ask some questions about urban planning? E.g. how do you strike a balance between different modes of transport in a dense, congested urban setting?

@mesfromusa

It's because Robert Moses had no use for public transportation, and this suck-up interviewer undoubtedly knew that. There's good footage of Robert Caro [if you haven't read his amazing "The Power Broker," you must] talking about how he "interviewed" (which really meant listening to him pontificate) Moses, but how once Caro started asking questions, the interviews ended and he never heard from him again.

Looking back in hindsight things could have been done differently with mass transit, but to think go full bore towards mass transit and just ridding one self of all the interstates and roads would just not work, subways and trains as a complement to cars work but on their own would not serve the needs of a country as vast as the United States.

I agree completely. In order to do what he did he had to completely subvert all the regulations and bureaucracy in place that was designed to ensure that the person proposing projects was not the person approving and building the projects. He was not bound to any pressure from voters. He acted with impunity. The things he did were overwhelmingly for the wealthy and upper middle class, he clogged the city up with cars, he dispossessed hundreds of thousands of people for car centric infrastructure. He created gigantic parks. He built bridges. He was a locus of corruption and his projects cost the city millions in loans designed never to be repaid. He refused to implement any sort of cohesive urban design plan for the future of the city. He rarely built parks or other quality of life improving structures in lower income neighborhoods. He chose to build projects increasingly in order to gain power for himself rather than projects that would improve city life. His projects still stand today. He has achieved immortality. No single man has ever left such a lasting impression on New York.

He wanted to make New York City a freeway...I exaggerate. He had terrible ideas, that oppressed those who lived in the city. // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1 John 2:2). The Messiah died on the cross, & Resurrected three days later (presenting Himself as First Fruits to the Father). Please ask Him to be your Savior. He is the ONLY way to Everlasting Life.
