I feel it is impossible to completely tear down the whole system of roads that we have in order to build something new because we very much rely on our public roads in the ways that they are right now. Maybe a solution could be funding different areas that are affected by the redlining rather than continuing to take away funding and not giving support to the people that live in these areas, leaving them dry of resources and opportunities. This relates to the blog post I wrote about the redlining present when I drove through Albany and Troy, NY, you should check it out!
