Also agreed.

I don't think legislation would work since there would be no legitimate reason for such a law. I don't think a wall would work since the Interstate 10 overpass is over the road (MLK) that passes under the overpass which the monument sits.
I'm not sure what kind of legislation might work or not, but if there is something, it should be talked about. If not now then when?
Shouldn't be too difficult to do a wall. Just needs to be a high enough barrier to obscure the view from vehicle windows. The public can do whatever it wants. If everybody decided something was offensive enough they could simply reroute the highways or rebuild them even higher so the monument ends up below the view of traffic. Just depends on if the outcry is strong enough.
