Add Orlando to the list
Jacksonville too…and Miami. Florida probably has some of the worst examples of this in the nation. Highway clusters cut right through the middle of Black neighborhoods that used to have business districts in those cities. I-10 and I-95 intersect in innercity Jacksonville.

I was going through that website because I have interest in city planning and jeez, even the southern cities looked like proper world cities in the 40s and 50s. Densely populated, street cars, mixed use developments, etc.

Damn shame what they did by running those ugly ass free ways through cities. I always say, the bad things they do to blacks people ends up affecting everybody.

Well atleast some cities are trying to rectify. There are proposals in Atlanta now to alter the 75/85 connector that runs through the city to go along with the beltline.
American cities used to resemble European cities until the auto industry took over the country.
