History : widening Dorchester
The Gazette apparently didn’t flinch in 1969 when widening Dorchester Blvd. involved the demolition of 150 vintage houses dating from when the street had been largely residential.
When I briefly visited Rotterdam some of its boulevards reminded me of René-Lévesque – but it took the Nazis to do that, because a lot of their central city was destroyed then rebuilt after the war. We didn’t have that excuse.

War profiteers returning from WW2 were responsible for the urban renewal of the 50s and 60s that gave us wide car sewers and suburban sprawl. So there is, in fact, a link to the Nazis.
