    What they want is to go back to no equity in government. They want to go back to being able to break up communities with zoning, redlining, and physical roads. They want to put their factories that no longer have environmental regulations into communities that can’t complain.

    In the first 20 years of the highway administration, 1 million people were displaced. Economic centers that developed and began to empower the “wrong” communities were slated for “highway improvements”, removing buildings and disrupting economic viability. In some cases towns no longer existed or completely changed in demographics.

    Equity means that everyone is considered for the impact of these kinds of “development” programs. No equity means they get to do what ever they want, as long as it isn’t in their back yard.
