Laylines give an adjacency bonus. You should be able to build on them, if you can't then there must be another reason you can't build on that spot.

Ley lines are only a part of the Secret Societies mode, and only appear if you've chosen to be a member of the Hermetic Order. They provide bonuses to the surrounding tiles based on the number of Great People you've recruited... but I don't believe you can ever remove them. Or build improvements on them. It's one of the reasons why the Hermetic Order is considered to be one of the weakest of the four Secret Societies.

As a general rule, you can never improve resources you can see except with that resource's designated improvement, and you can never build districts on resources you can see. The Ley Line doesn't have an improvement, and no tech allows you to remove it. Which means it's going to stay there unimproved forever.

If you do pick the Hermetic Order, Ley Lines become visible. And from the beginning, they grant +2 adjacency to all of the specialty districts that normally have adjacency values. If you're going for any sore of high-adjacency district build, that's pretty nice. If you have the ley lines, anyway.

When you reach the world industrial era, you can take the third promotion of the secret society. That grants bonus yields to ley line tiles, based on how many great people you've earned. Which can be a ton. All of a sudden, despite their lack of improvements, these tiles are amazing.

Hermetics are really level-dependent as far as their effectiveness. If you're playing on lower levels and can get lots of GP they are powerful. But on Emperor on up, the AI will beat you to the GP and ley lines become dead tiles
