who supported the demolition of the beautiful above ground structure and construction of a maze of rodent tunnels under ground to take its place. He was also responsible for hacking neighborhoods apart with superhighways. He was the worse of a bad bunch in the 40s-60s who advocated mowing down neighborhoods in order to erect high rise monstrosities sitting in sterile moonscapes of concrete and maybe an occasional island of a tree and a little grass, usually filled with broken glass and other litter.

It's only now we're fully appreciating the vandalism such men accomplished in the name of modernity and efficiency.

He died in bed, rich and only mildly disgraced.
