Final answer:

The Desire and Cemeteries trams were indeed real; Desire was a streetcar line in New Orleans, and Cemeteries denotes actual tram lines leading to graveyards designed as multifunctional spaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "Desire and Cemeteries weren't real trams." is false. The Desire Streetcar Line was indeed a historic streetcar line in New Orleans, remembered famously in the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' by Tennessee Williams. Cemeteries also refers to a real tram line, specifically to the Cemeteries streetcar that travels to the city's graveyards, reflecting a time when cemeteries were designed to serve multiple functions, including park-like museum spaces as depicted in Figure 6-36: Glendale, CA. Attractions like the Tivoli and Dreamland further demonstrate the diverse uses of public spaces, blending amusement with educational experiences, and recreational activities with spaces of remembrance.
