Start with a smaller gauge, take it slow, sanitize, don't lose the object using, preferable, an overlong insertion or flared base.

  1. There were communities in suburbs built and federal funded that included racial exclusion provisions.

Ayo Magwood has pulled together a great amount of information about the topic. Recently, she seems to have shifted to economic inequality driving many of the issues that were once, like all the years before the last 5 or so, primarily racial.

To offer a refinement, if I can, redlining is adjacent to this highway abuse, so, easy to join them; same racially driven bastardry, different technique.

Redlining was a real estate / financial tool that kept certain homes on a map from having access to resources. Sort of like financial gerrymandering. It's kinda cool, in a privileged way, to see a city's ghetto map and a redlined map overlaid; there is little difference.

Anyway, I couldn't find a term for this neighborhood wrecking highway practice, but did find this article that goes into detail and links the book Dividing by Design.
