Getting rid of the expressway would just result in gentrification of the surrounding neighborhoods, and then all of the same people clamoring for this to happen would complain for another reason.

Maybe this is why the big money in the city is getting behind it. Gentrification in the 7th ward?

Lots of near quarter potential for business.

If we had better public transport it would work. Everyone points to San fransico doing away with that expressway. But they have trains, light rail, cable cars, street cars and the BART.

Bingo. This will gentrify the neighborhood even more, push hospitality workers and renters to the East, and make their public transit commute longer.

Then they’ll wonder how it all happened.
