“Da 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 — 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.

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!🙃
the US auto industry/lobby's cancerous... I'm sorry to know even America's greatest city is afflicted
