As much as we hate the words, "This is how we do it in New York," I do not know of one single place, where the street level and R/R Subway tracks are on the same level within the five boroughs.

I would suppose there is a reason for that.

Well yes there is.
When the Blizzard of 1888 paralyzed all surface traffic throughout NYC,
it dramaticly emphasized the advantages of building their light-rail system underground.
Houston is much less at risk of snowstorms and blizzards,
But if they want to put in a subway instead of surface-street light-rail, that's OK with me too.
