[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spend more on infrastructure now than we ever have. Costs are just so much higher than ever before, for many reasons. The Inter-county connector cost almost 2.6 billion dollars. For another example the Hoover dam cost an inflation adjusted $825 million dollars. The golden gate bridge cost an inflation adjusted 1.5 billion dollars, yet rebuilding just the east span of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco has already cost over 6.3 billion. [/quote] This, It costs a lot more now to build things than it did before, especially big projects like roads and bridges. Things that used to get done through ingenuity, grit, and efficiency is now done through standardized brute application of money and resources.[/quote]
