One of the main messages of “Nobody Lives Here” is that when plans were being made to build I-5 through Seattle, the system and culture were such that neighborhoods where minorities lived were often the easiest places to build freeways.
In that part of the book, “he’s talking about the way in which city planners have always used the CID as a throwaway under the premise that nobody lives there,” Hulls said. “So that’s why we titled the show this . . . because we really want to say, like, ‘no, this has always been a residential neighborhood.’”
One of the main messages of “Nobody Lives Here” is that when plans were being made back in the early and mid-1950s to build I-5 through Seattle, the system and culture were such that neighborhoods where minorities lived were often the easiest places to build freeways – which was true in many parts of the country, not just the Pacific Northwest.
“The inhabitants of these neighborhoods were very clear on what was going to happen,” Hulls said. “And with the freeway planners not necessarily being on the ground, there might be some grace to say that they didn’t fully anticipate just how bad the effects would be.” Back out standing under the freeway, both Hulls and Woodward are emphatic that the routing of I-5 through the middle of the Chinatown-International District 70 years ago was most definitely a form of racism.Hulls explained how thinking on this particular aspect of interpreting the history of freeway construction has evolved in recent years.
