For example, many old neighborhoods in New York City were destroyed to make space for new highways for commuters. Building new infrastructure may be a good thing, but in reality, many unique communities were being destroyed.
Jane lived in Greenwich Village, which was popular among young artists. She described seeing the place as “filled with people of different backgrounds, jobs, and nationalities.” For her, it felt like watching a “sidewalk ballet.” However, the city was facing a threat. A city official named Robert Moses was planning to destroy Washington Square Park to build a highway across it. Washington Square Park is a popular gathering area for mothers, children, and artists, and Jane would not allow the lively public place to be lost.
