The freeway is broken now. We have the choice to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild it, and ongoing maintenance costs, or spend a bit to tear it down with no maintenance costs. One is significantly cheaper than the other, plus environmental benefits to consider.

Luxury condos, Airbnb, bike lanes, house flipping are often lagging indicators of gentrification, not causes. But they're visual so they make easy boogeymen. The actual cause: population growth, urban migration, boom bust cycles and income inequality are harder to visualize.
