Yes, I can believe that you would spend $100K to save the life of your (hypothetical) child. But that's still a non sequitur.
Or would you be willing to spend, say, $50K, (of your personal money, in either increased property taxes or increased rent) to either elevate or bury the LRT underground, because it would save some (a few) lives? In reality, not many people would be willing to do that.
