Nice shot, but you completely twisted what I meant around.
When elevated is built above roads, it can take away no lanes of traffic below (or sidewalk, or cyclist paths, or Kale shops) as the pylons take up as much space as a garbage can. When it's not above roads, and just over regular land, parks can be built under it, with paths, etc...
LRT can never do this because it is at-grade. It's not that complicated to understand.

I'll be in Dallas and Houston myself in a few weeks, and while I'm looking forward to riding Dallas and Houston's system to see their implementation of LRT, I'm more excited about visiting Los Colinas to check out their APT, as well as the underground WEDWay system at Houston Intercontinental.
