I think people already have no concept of how much it costs to fix a pothole, or a manhole cover, or even a nearby water main break.
The costs of tunnels and highways and big stuff is just incomprehensible for most people - and nobody in government ever really seems to try and educate “the taxpayer” on how much their/our choices actually cost…
The extreme stupidity of this project leads me to think that Ford is going to use it as a justification to buy back or fuck with the 407 instead, since it will be obviously cheaper to do that. And yet we still will never have the conversation of how wasteful these fucking highways are.
