The year is 1950, and automobiles are everywhere. States and cities are building highways to create fast paths downtown from new, sprawling suburbs. Should our region follow the trend of other cities and invest in highways and suburbs, or direct resources to the urban core?
Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky need to keep up with the times. New building projects mean new jobs, and we can get federal funding to help build highways. Let's do it!
I'm concerned that investing in new suburbs will take business away from our local shops and mean the end of our thriving community. Can't we invest in Cincinnati neighborhoods instead?
I worry that focusing only on cars will mean less money for our bus and transit systems. Not everyone can afford a car or a move to the suburbs - what about folks who rely on other forms of transportation?
