Have you ever been to Yonge and Steeles at peak hour on a weekday? This isn't a theoretical future neighbourhood. It's actually been there since the 1800s. I know that's a tongue n cheek comment, but in reality it's been an established neighbourhood for quite a while, the Yonge Subway isn't some theoretical future case scenario it's real and the ridership is real. You can't say not to extend the subway because it doesn't have the ridership then say not to extend it because it will overcrowd the line downtown, that's two contradicting statements that have and are being thrown around.
I think subway extension to Steeles is definitely needed. Up to highway 7 I'm not as sure about, I haven't decided yet.
The "theoretical" comment is referring to building subways into empty fields and then showing renderings of future condos to justify it like Vaughan station on the Spadina line.
