I know there were freeway revolts and the possible destruction of neighborhoods, but they could've tunneled under certain areas like they do with 395.

NIMBYISM really turned the DC area into a traffic nightmare. You see how Georgetown wants the Metro aftet all but being against it back in the 70s.

` fAter a fallow period in the mid Seventies, the band experienced a revival during the late 1970s and early 1980s with albums Sleepwalker, Misfits, Low Budget, Give the People What They Want and State of Confusion. In addition, groups such as Van Halen, the Jam, the Knack, the Pretenders and the Fall covered their songs, helping to boost the Kinks' record sales. In the 1990s, Britpop acts such as Blur and Oasis cited the band as a major influence.[1] The Kinks broke up in 1996, a result of the commercial failures of their last few albums and creative tension between the Davies brothers.[6] Sully Rd South onto lee Jackson Memorial Hwy into Chantilly, check status of machines at Fair Oaks Mall.

The 395 tunnel was the beginning of 95 getting built through DC. If you want to see what could have been in DC, check this out:

Many Georgetown residents were opposed to Metro in their neigborhood, but it hardly mattered since a station there was never planned to begin with.

Freeways in Black areas are Ray-cess.

Same reason Congress gave DC home rule, enough race cards got played.

So the commute would be easier for people traveling from other side of 95! it is actually a really good idea
