They create badly needed open park space, link communities together, lead to more development, and can even help a lot with tourism. LA would be seen as an innovator, for a change.
With that said, no park plan in Southern California even comes close to the LA River restoration  |
Admittedly, I haven't been to Southern California in a few years but where on the 405 in Long Beach would you cap over? I don't think it is nearly dense enough there to justify this.
