Fascinating! Even LaGuardia got a mention, tying back to our earlier conversations about Robert Moses. I think I read about 700 pages of that book but I switched to another book it was getting repetitive and I plan on finishing it later.

You probably read the best parts anyway. The abuses that brought him down are important, but less interesting than the earlier stuff.

I think about Moses all the time when the whole housing shortage due to of NIMBYism comes up, the Great Builder must be laughing in his grave.
