Her new book is\xa0City Limits: Infrastructure, Inequality, and the Future of America\u2019s Highways.\n\u201cI have never lived in a city that was not wrapped in highways. It\u2019s hard for me to imagine anything else. And I think that\u2019s true for a lot of people today. ... [But] we have known since the origins of the interstate highways program that building highways through cities doesn\u2019t fix traffic. And yet we keep doing it. To me, that really fueled a lot of the book. It wasn\u2019t supposed to be this way.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@megankimble\n\nmegankimble.com\n\nKimble on Longform\n\nKimble\u2019s\xa0Texas Observer\xa0archive\n\n11:00\xa0Kimble\u2019s\xa0Austin Monthly\xa0archive\n\n\n13:00\xa0\u201cAustin\u2019s Not-So-Fair Housing Market\u201d\xa0(Austin Monthly \u2022 Sept 2018)\n\n49:00\xa0\u201cThe Road Home\u201d\xa0(Texas Observer \u2022 July 2021)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
