ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

[panamaniac]

I was quite serious when I said that I don't think we should build Phase 2 for 4.5 billion. It sets a society ending precedent.

Something deep is going on if it's going to cost that much. And this seems to be just for the initial build and trains, and not managing it for x# of years.

Someone is getting rich off of this. Likely to the tune of $3B+....I won't speculate on where all this additional money goes though. But something isn't right here.

Not sure how anybody gets rich from a cost estimate for a project that won't be built in the proposed form.
