How about the rest of the story! As one of the elders here I can remember when a lot of these roads were built. The elevated roads were also praised as being less disruptive of the neighborhoods they transversed. Ground level was declared to be dividing the neighborhoods and denying access to neighbors and local shops that were on the other side of major highways. I also remember sitting in line waiting to transit areas on streets designed generations before and people complaining that attempting to cross those streets was to dangerous for adults and children.
Relocating the elevated in New Orleans will also be a problem considering the water level.
Of course, since covid taught businesses that, even though productivity was effected, the workforce could work from home. That means the skyscraper office buildings that have had occupancy decline can now be converted to other uses.
