One way streets are more fascist than land expropriation. In Germany, there are to this day one-way walking signs in some parts. The reason? To maximize traffic flow. It sounds so ridiculous, but if you step back you'll realize how ridiculous one-way streets are too. I'm mentioning this because the boarded-up buildings are a result of one-way multiple-lane highway style traffic patterns that speed up traffic and decrease ability to attend to anything past the lane beside you. It often takes people several loops of going around one way streets to try to find a place to park! Limited street parking contributes to this. Its all the same issue, and fascism is a good analogy.
