If one removed roads from a deteriorating neighborhood in the flood zone and replaced them with elevated boardwalk paths; build a parking garage and rooftop culture establishment for local organizations at the central access road, in the neighborhood install pilings at the corners of the houses, elevate them, remove compacted foundations, and plant ground with nut trees, leaf packaging-material, and other forest products, and have occasional crop fields around the outskirts for open space view from houses in the forest edge and for farm work exercise,

what opinions would there be about it?

the thing that you are not considering is that you are talking about convincing PRIVATE CITIZENS to spend MILLIONS of dollars out of their own pockets to make ridiculous alterations to their PRIVATE PROPERTY!!

and,it wouldnt take but a FEW of them to decide they didnt want any part of this expensive fantasy to throw a mokey wrench into the gears,because THEN,they would have to bear the expense of maintaining TWO sets of infrastructure...one for the lowlanders,aand another one for the treetoppers,and considering how much trouble it has been to get the taxpayers to carry the burden of maintaining a SINGLE set of infrastructures,i think that by itself would make this little fantasy world impossible.

Taxpayer money would not be used for this. This is all pure speculation.

Houses in the forest could be built on pilings so that the ground is not compacted. Essential vehicle access could be along original dirt logging roads.

But probably none of this would happen, it will remain a 250 acre forest in the middle of the city. We could put some trails out there.
