The trend is noticeable both inside and outside of Rhode island - highways are built through low-income communities rather than high-income neighborhoods.
Even if not discussing 95... Highways in general. It would negatively impact property values so wealthy property owners would fight for their property.
Poorer residents don't have the resources to do the same.
