If you lower the orbit for 9,000 satellites, their orbit density increases. As a consequence, if one of them is damaged by debris or meteors, scattering pieces around, the probability of a "chain reaction" destroying neighbour satellites increases. This manouver is actually increasing the odds for a Kessler syndrome to take place, at least on this orbit level.

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Through the toll booth, I’m gonna pin ya
Life is old there, older than the trees
But I’m paying five bucks just to feel the breeze
(Chorus)
Toll roads, take my gold
To the place I was told
Electronic, EZ-Passing
Take my money, toll roads
(Solo)
All my memories, gathered 'round her
Concrete lady, highway bounder
Grey and dusty, painted lines so white
I’ve been stuck in traffic since Friday night
(Chorus)
Toll roads, take my gold
To the place I was told
Electronic, EZ-Passing
Take my money, toll roads
(Solo)
I hear a beep in the morning hour, she calls me
The transponder reminds me of my dwindling bank account
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have taken the back way yesterday, yesterday
(Chorus)
Toll roads, take my gold
To the place I was told
Electronic, EZ-Passing
Take my money, toll roads
(Solo)
Take my money, toll roads
Down the turnpike, toll roads
