Pros And Cons Of I-81

I-81 The I-81 viaduct through the center of Syracuse, NY is one of the city’s defining landmarks. It has also reached the end of its design life, and there are serious arguments about what the future of I-81 should look like. What is I-81? I-81 is the construction of Interstate 81 in Syracuse with the forced displacement of nearly 1,300 residents from the city's 15th Ward. It devastated a historic black community, severing the social fabric of the community and razing swaths of buildings, and with them, affordable housing options. Neighborhood deterioration, a glut of surface parking lots, and citywide population loss followed. (CNU) There are both pros and cons of I-81, building I-81 created uneven social and spatial impacts like made it easier for wealthier Syracuse residents to move to suburbs which led to in property values & economic fortune of suburb and property values for example good school, and on the other hand, it can also cause less wealthy residents (esp. displaced by I-81 were stuck) which prevented …show more content…

It has also reached the end of its design life. As I mentioned before people will support the community grid and some won’t. In my opinion, I think I will support I-81 because on the surface, large-scale urbanization is the so-called improvement of resource utilization efficiency and cost saving, but in essence, it also serves capital and serves the rich. The resources of small cities will be slowly sucked dry with large urbanization, and the wealth of the rich and talents will be concentrated in large cities. House speculation is rationalized, and high profits and low risk costs make all kinds of capital flock. Many subways have not yet been built, and the surrounding housing prices have doubled, and at the end there will always be someone taking over it. So this might be a chance where I can earn money and change the current living conditions and living

    On May 6th, 1861 , Arkansas made one of the most idiotic choices it has ever made, it succeeded from the union. When the original vote took place , five delegates voted to not join the confederacy , but when asked to retake the vote, all but one had suddenly changed their mind. How would they so easily change their minds , probably because something else other than a convincing argument had been involved. All but one man said we should secede, so Arkansas did what the majority voted, but just because there is a majority, doesn’t make it right. Arkansas was in a extremely tight spot during the decision and that definitely impacted the final choice.

    Bill C-51 does not protect Canadian citizens, rather it encroaches their innocence and rights.

    It’s important for the United States to produce and export oil because if we don’t, the Middle East and Russia will capitalize on the product and they will become stronger and richer countries. One of the ways that the United States can be an economically strong country is to reopen the Keystone pipeline and also allow states to have the power to generate their own oil. The opposition believes that pipelines have posed a huge risk to wildlife and the surrounding environment. The Key Stone pipeline has too many hurdles to go through; therefore, wildlife activists are against this project.

    Political speech is one of the most confusing, vague, and misleading areas of the English language to understand. Politicians use this to their advantage to persuade voters to believe they are the perfect candidates. The campaign for the presidential election of 2016 has just gotten started and, the front runner, Hillary Clinton, definitely fits George Orwell's definition of politician using vague responses and misleading answers. Hillary Clinton, wife of Bill Clinton, served as the sixty-seventh United States Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. Before becoming Secretary of State she was a Senator for New York.

    Under influence of president Andrew Jackson, the congress was urged in 1830 to pass the Indian Removal Act, with the goal of relocated many Native Americans in the East territory, the west of Mississippi river.
