        We seem to have shied away from mega-infrastructure projects in the US. Cost is not the only factor.

        >have to '*tell* you [typo] I was quite surprised Trump even stated [quite a while ago] They wanted to lower the height on the Chicago project Height is a thing in itself: operating spires (or decorative), floors getting setback & reduced in area Long list of negotiations

        Projects get re-engineering for money reasons when they are overrun with costs as you see constantly BIG DIGS & their ilk are infamous for escalating We don't even get our fighter jets delivered Tech changes so fast they lose their excellence in advancement before building
