initially disagreed with everyone saying 'it should have stayed rail' but when looking at the map the high line is exactly in an area not particularly well covered by the subway. couldn't they just have made line 7 make use of the high line tracks?

Coincidentally, there is a trending post on the dutch subreddit discussing an article which claims the Dutch are falling behind because of lack of ambition.
Most replies are along the lines of "less ambition is good, we have it good enough".

* that there is no desire to make life/humanity even better (cure cancer/death, go to Mars, infinite energy, etc.)
