I liked it before all this.

better then the idea of an airport in a building i guess

They need to so this to the Reading Elevated Line in downtown Philadelphia. It's huge and been abandoned for years just like this.

A really great idea, and it must be a fantastic place to walk through.

It does seem a bit overdeveloped, though.

I liked it better when it was just old train tracks and weeds.

Take a look at " New York Voices: Joel Sternfeld" . Here on YouTube,there you can see how you can ruin something .

Turn Nature into Plastic and Beton.

@maxpin63 As beautiful as it was, it was also unsafe. The High Line was basically ruins... and therefore deteriorating. In order to make it safe, and prevent lawsuits, they had to renovate it. So, yes it is sad, but atleast it wasn't taken down completely.

A lot of tropical hardwood from the Amazon rainforest was used for this project. Such a shame!
