Seems like they are. But this leads me to another thought. How different would this thread have turned out if the OP linked to the Texas cities section?

Baltimore of course had freeway construction and demolition of historic stock, but like most of the NE cities it didn't suffer the kind of wholesale, careless destruction that I'm seeing here. It's almost like they set out to vandalize as much as possible. The freeways just barreled through without much regard for the existing grid, with greedy interchanges gobbling up way more blocks than needed, right at the cores. Really sad and a bit infuriating...
