The best part is, I didn't have to watch this and neither do you. The video title says it all.
YouTube recommendations be like, "I see you watching videos about how zoning and cars have destroyed urban centers in the US" and still suggests garbage like this.
Someone else mentioned how they run through major cities and destroy neighborhoods. The scale of this distruction is hard to understate.
A big reason most US cities don't have much of an active downtown is that they're usually criss-crossed with highways. Interstates kill walkability in a city and can make it feel like a city is broken up into pieces.
White folks used the interstate system to create enclaves in the suburbs so they could create an existence free of black people.
That's an issue with highways when they reach cities. But the interstate part where it's connecting far away cities is cool

High speed rail would have the same issues with eminent domain and skipping small towns
