Minority communities in Houston may lose homes, buildings due to freeway project: "Nobody cares about the people who are being displaced"
CBSN
A booming spike in Houston's population is making traffic terrible. To help with this, a massive $9 billion freeway-widening project was put in place to widen 24 miles of interstate.
But the project is threatening to disrupt the lives of thousands of people — most of them are from communities of color.
About 1,000 homes and apartments along with 344 businesses, two schools, and five churches are expected to be knocked down to complete the project.
