An argument for elevated rail (youtu.be)

The UCP jerks seem to be making the underground tunnel for the green line impossible. A possible new alignment could be elevated rail through downtown. After I watched this video, I think it wouldn't be that bad after all?

A generic (although heavily-biased) video about whether elevated trains are OK, in the context of Berlin etc., has little to no bearing on Calgary and the green line.

I don't mind above-ground trains, elevated or ground-level. But the green line SHOULD be underground, and the UCP is trashing it just because they're fucking assholes who want to break everything so they can feed the profits back to themselves and their friends.
