This is a form of scocial engineering to force people into choosing to take transit, not by making transit better, faster or cheaper, but by making everything else worse.

I agree with this 100% I hate the idea here to simply make road infrastructure worse to get people to use transit.
Sorry, the attitude should be to make transit faster and better to get people to switch.
That way we can have an excellent transit system and a good road system. people and goods win win!
Also, when Boston and San Fran tore down their viaducts, they were replaced with even better road infrastructure, such as the Boston big dig. And a good chunk of the double layer central viaduct in San Fran was replaced with a wider freeway, closer to ground level, in the space where the double-decked road had been.
Also in Soul they have an amazing amount of elevated roadway and tunnels, and they are currently constructing more, despite taking one down. Also Seattle plans to replace their viaduct with a tunneled freeway.
