β€œDa wo ich wohne” / Where I live

New York is often seen as a walkable city, which it is, but highways still rip through many neighborhoods β€” particularly in the outer boroughs with poorer, browner residents. Just a few minutes’ walk from my more pedestrian-friendly neighborhood is this elevated section of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, an environment built more for cars than for people.

@bluejay the pillars seems to be of the 1950's
@Bot_Anix Yes, the highway was constructed around that time period, 1940s-50s.
elevated expressway... these are for cars as well as rail?
@MephitisTouch Just for cars. It’s a big ol’ multi-lane freeway, lifted up so more freeways can run under it. Definitely better than the dense, vibrant immigrant neighborhoods that were here before!πŸ™ƒ
the US auto industry/lobby's cancerous... I'm sorry to know even America's greatest city is afflicted
