I think so. Many of these communities have the infrastructure - a main business district, walkability, relatively close to Downtown - to be highly desirable places to live, but they lack the economic investment needed to bring them to life. Building a highway would simply allow middle and upper class people to flee further into the exurbs. That means fewer resources for these communities and the rest of Allegheny County. I don't want our region to be a soulless stretch of parkway in every direction, I'd much rather have a group of thriving communities working together to solve their problems rather than flee them.
