Henry Epstein opposed the Cross Bronx Expressway route through a neighborhood and argued that shifting it two blocks south would reduce evictions from tens of thousands to a few hundred.

“Uh, Henry Epstein is opposing the Cross Bronx Expressway. He's saying to Robert Moses, "You're putting it right through a neighborhood where you have to evict tens of thousands of people.”

“You can just move it two blocks to the south, and you only have to evict a couple of hundred people." Moses sets out to destroy Epstein, and basically does by making it known he's having an affair.”
