Erick Erickson used to be a city councilman in Macon and I once heard him talk about the building of I-75 through Macon. The right of way went right through a black neighborhood, and down the middle of several homes. The DOT took only half of those people's lots, bulldozed through the middle of the houses to clear the highway side of the right of way, and left the homeowners the responsibility of cleaning up any debris on their side. And only payed half the value of the homes. It's difficult to imagine humans treating other humans that way.
