Elevated anything kills the street experience for pedestrians, which is once of the central points of having urbanism in the first place. Urbanism isn't about getting to point A to point B as fast as possible, it's about a dense network of interactions. I bet the writer would change his opinion if he learned more about urban design. The final image is pretty much a poster child for what NOT to do (similar to Le Corbusier's vision for Paris). The solution is to build more densely to make car trips less practical and to have better public transit that can't get stuck in traffic.
