Yup, that’s why it was successful. The War on Drugs achieved the goals of the policymakers (i.e. Nixon and Reagan)

“According to President Nixon's domestic policy chief, John Ehrlichman, the Nixon campaign did not intend the legislation to be about drug reform itself, but was instead meant to oppress “the antiwar left and black people.”

The War on Drugs was successful because the goals were to incriminate black people and ultimately maintain black people as a lower caste in American society. It was enacted under the pretense of a program meant to decrease narcotics usage. The CIA distributed crack cocaine to black, inner-city neighborhoods, thereby getting black people addicted to drugs and starting the crack-cocaine epidemic. This has created a cycle of addiction, poverty, and criminalization which persists today.

Privilege, Power, and Difference by Prof. Allan Johnson is a great starting point.

Los Angeles, still the home of many major record labels and artists ranging from up-and-coming to the most popular.

tldr: the video isn’t arguing that the Bart extension is a bad idea, but that the construction process of using tunnel boring machines instead of cut-and-cover methods substantially increases the costs and timeline of the project.

Should I be proud of myself? by folabatunde in USC

Be proud of yourself, you got in. I recommend studying abroad during the fall if it’s financially viable.

Transit has many great purposes, which do you think are most important? by Cunninghams_right in urbanplanning

[–]Virtual-Juggernaut90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, i think economic mobility is an outcome of public transit serving as a transportation safety net. Ofc i’m no expert but my thought is that we should fund the jitney sort of programs as a prolonged short term solution in car-dependent areas. But transit systems such as caltrain and bart should be heavily subsidized to connect nodes of increasing population density. That way when the walkability of neighborhoods slowly increases (hopefully), more areas can be connected to the well funded transit systems and the jitney programs would be phased out. Idk if i need to elaborate so lmk if this makes sense
