New York City. Although much of the information is true, the author rails against Moses for many of his accomplishments but primarily for his traffic ridden roadways. Still, it should  be noted that to many, Robert Moses is looked upon fondly. In order to understand why, one would have to look back in time to the LaGuardia administration. During his  stint as mayor, LaGuardia noticed the deterioration of the parks and appointed Robert Moses to renovate them and make them beautiful once again (Ellis, 1997).
