Hacker News 上怎么说

  ……罗伯特·摩西（Robert Moses）彻底把它搞砸了（纯粹出于他对少数族裔和穷人的个人仇恨）。如果你想深入了解这个话题，我建议去读罗伯特·卡洛（Robert Caro）的书《权势之人》（The Power Broker）。书中阐述的一个观点是：如果你在建社区之前先建大运量公共交通，最后就会形成中高密度的社区。而如果你在建社区之前先修高速公路……

  …and Robert Moses completely blew it (because of his personal hatred of minorities and poor people). If you want to find out more about that particular topic, I suggest you read Robert Caro's book "The Power Broker". One idea espoused in the book is that when you build mass transit before you build the community, you end up with a medium-to-high density community. When you build highways before you build the community,…

  我听说《权势之人》这本书棒极了，它是摩西的传记，还拿了 1974 年的普利策奖 :) http://www.amazon.com/The-Power-Broker-Robert-Moses/dp/03947... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_Broker

  I hear that "The Power Broker", a biography of Moses and winner of the Pulitzer in 1974, is a fantastic read :) http://www.amazon.com/The-Power-Broker-Robert-Moses/dp/03947... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_Broker

  ……彻底脱轨的工程项目。事实上我认为，直到不久前，许多市政公共工程项目都和软件项目一样充斥着这种“意外因素”。我推荐卡洛的《权势之人》[2]，它极其精彩地讲述了纽约地区市政工程的历史（除此以外还有很多内容——全书整体都很棒），包括施工人员在多大程度上必须边干边学、不断根据新情况调整规划……

  …engineering project that's gone off the rails. In fact, I'd argue that until fairly recently, many more public works projects shared the "surprise factor" of software projects. I'd recommend Caro's "The Power Broker"[2] for a fascinating history of NY-area public works (among other things - great book all around), including how much of that process was about adapting the plan to new things the builders were learning…

  ……尽管到了 1960 年代中期势力逐渐式微，摩西依然发起（并确保建成了）许多市政工程项目，这些项目对贫困（且通常是非白人）社区造成了极其不不成比例的冲击。罗伯特·A·卡洛的《权势之人》是关于纽约最好的政治史著作之一，如果你想确切搞懂为什么这座城市的基建（以及基建的匮乏）会变成今天这副鬼样子，我强烈推荐。[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Moses…

  …Although waning in power by the mid-1960s, Moses began (and ensured the completion) of a number of public construction projects with disproportionate impacts on poor (and usually non-white) communities. The Power Broker by Robert A. Caro is one of the best political histories of New York, which I recommend if you're interested in exactly why the city's infrastructure (and lack thereof) is the way it is.

  罗伯特·卡洛的《权势之人》。在刻画个人层面的权力本质上，从来没有人能达到卡洛在这本书中所展现的深度和广度。（或许除了他对林登·约翰逊的那部史诗级传记）在长达……

  "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro. Nobody has ever captured the nature of power on an individual level to the depth and breadth that Caro did on this book. (except perhaps his epic treatment of Lyndon Johnson) Over something…

  趁这个帖子正好顺便提一句：如果纽约市的汽车基础设施让你感兴趣，那这只是拿起罗伯特·卡洛的史诗巨著《权势之人：罗伯特·摩西与纽约的衰落》的众多好理由之一。我几个月前听完了 Audible 有声书，它完全配得上“或许是现代最伟大传记”的盛名。

  This is as good a thread as any to mention that if the automotive infrastructure of NYC gets you excited, it's but one of many good reasons to pick up Robert Caro's epic The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York. I finished the Audible recording a few months ago, and it lived up to its reputation as perhaps the great modern biography.
