The areas depicted in the photos don't look too spectacular to begin with. They show surface lots and freeways. How are those going to be hurt by an LRT line?

I just looked at their website and they appear to be either idiots or liars. They're crying about elevated rail lines claiming they are hated around the world. Then the examples they provide are things like the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto or a huge elevated highway in NY. There's a heck of a difference between a huge 6+ lane expressway and a two lane LRT line.
And those mockup they have? Ridiculous! They're claiming how the neighbourhood would be destroyed by an elevated line but most of those pictures have elevated ramps or other elevated transportation paths in them.
