        Yeah, they're not asking why it costs a lot of money. They're asking why it costs 5x more to do it here than it does to do the same thing everywhere else in the world. Try to keep up.

        Breaking: person who lazily tweets out a response to an article he didn't read tries to use sarcasm to distract from the fact that he didn't read the article.

        If I recall correctly from the original @nytimes exposé, one of the many issues was “ghost employees” that were being paid astronomical daily wages despite no records of their actual position. A complete lack of oversight is the only exp. for costing 5x Paris’s complex subway.

        Because Govt has no cost control sales profit objective & the money is simply taken/taxed not worked for/earned from the Free Mkt & Individual Liberty, there is no perceived need of a limitation on spending especially other ppl's money

        Because you (and others) will pay that to live there. You value what you receive sufficient to pay (or not move).
