So many issues with this post:

-The title implies that the city of NY is going to build an underground park; in reality, an architecture firm has written a proposal for such a park. Wether or not this will ever happen is yet undetermined.

-Where in the Lower East Side is the proposed site for this park? The author didn't think to include this little detail?

I propose we start using SA;LH = shitty article; linkbait headline.

Inside the Delancey Station (next to the Williamsburg Bridge - Manhattan Side) there is a huge underground open area which served as a small train yard up until the 60's/70s. This place has leaks, garbage, graffiti and rats. It would cost significantly more money to convert this area into a park than was spent on the highline.

Thanks for the feedback, we're constantly working to improve the quality of articles on the site and we're really just getting started.

I'll definitely take your points into account and will let the author know.

In the decades to come, a combination of infrastructure repurposing and good design will define the most livable American cities. Good to see the combination making more headlines today.
