What's the meaning of ''look far to find it" ? I'm struggling with the article how the subway in London was built up. I don't understand the meaning ''look far to find it'' as I posted it on the title. Here is the sentence. This cut- and-cover method caused massive disruptions in the city and required the destruction of the structures above the tunnel. A better means of expanding the original Underground was needed, and builders did not have to look far to find it. Hope you can help me! Thanks :)
