The rain cover is really outweighed by shade/lack of sunlight. The shade tends to make the street level experience more gloomy and a significantly worse experience that people tend to avoid.

- scheme271 3y agoHotter weather may change some of that but street level tends to be dark and not pleasant to be in. Like it or not, people tend to associate those areas with higher crime and the shops at street level tend to get noticeable less traffic. It depends on the size of the tracks but if you've been to the loop in Chicago or in places in NYC with elevated trains, the difference in the streets with elevated tracks and the streets without are noticeable.
