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.
Train good, car bad.
It was good at connecting parts of the country and creating jobs, but it was the start of federal policies to help fund the creation of roads (and running new highways through minority neighborhoods) instead of funding rail.
Incentivizing cities to build roads, then making them foot the bill for maintenance, leaves them in debt and they keep expanding to pay that off. Those policies also made cars necessary in most parts of the US, and the parking requirements of zoning laws caused downtown areas to be mostly parking lots in a lot of cities.
I guess the dunk tank may not have been the best place for this, but the issues this project created are never discussed and deserve to be dunked on.
This also fuels the growing police state, as police fines are one of a city's main sources of revenue
