Only in America and NYC would such lack of foresight (and competance and ambition) be possible.
Shoot, the 7 should have extended down to the L since the tail tracks for the 7 already extend to 25th street. If they just pushed it another 10 blocks it would have been there and massively enhanced connectivity, even if they didn't add anymore expensive stations.
