In a world of infinite resources, sure I’d love beautiful, inspiring spaces. But given a choice between a dozen new stations—each cramped and ugly—or three oversized pretty ones, I’ll take the dozen every time.

And tbh they’re not even pretty. With that money we should be getting Moscow level decoration at least.

Yeah, its just a big subway station. The one I went to was cavernous, dark and brutalist. But Cuomo’s name was prominent and looked good!

I would...above ground. But if I am going to the subway, I really want to get to fresh air as soon as possible.
