all highways are built with government money doofus

The Big Dig was the most expensive highway project in the U.S. and was plagued by escalating costs, scheduling overruns, leaks, design flaws, charges of poor execution and use of substandard materials, criminal arrests,[2][3] and one death.[4] The project was originally scheduled to be completed in 1998[5] at an estimated cost of $2.8 billion (in 1982 dollars, US$6.0 billion adjusted for inflation as of 2006).[6] However, the project was completed only in December 2007, at a cost of over $14.6 billion ($8.08 billion in 1982 dollars, meaning a cost overrun of about 190%)[6] as of 2006.[7] The Boston Globe estimated that the project will ultimately cost $22 billion, including interest, and that it will not be paid off until 2038.[8] As a result of the death, leaks, and other design flaws, the consortium that oversaw the project agreed to pay $407 million in restitution, and several smaller companies agreed to pay a combined sum of approximately $51 million.[9] (Wikipedia)

focusing on the troubles does not make for a credible argument against the Big Dig being the valuable and wonderful thing it was -- it accomplished much in the worlds of urban planning and engineering

please, stop being such a whiney little bitch all most of the time

you do know you're an unpleasant little complainer, don't ya?

Until it is done, all the promises don't mater.

Ever heard of Cost/Benefit Analysis?

Yes, I'm sure it is unpleasant to have your postings exposed as illogical diatribes.

Civic projects seen through the cost benefit analysis? By any standard the Big Dig is a huge benefit

Well, it cost THREE TIMES as much as the Panama Canal, IN TODAY'S DOLLARS. Does it provide three times the benefit?

Not even close. More than ten million gallons of water a year have to be pumped out of tunnels leaking like crazy. A woman was crushed to death in the new tunnel when a panel that was glued rather than riveted to the top of the tunnel fell on her car. It has been a mess from the get-go. Thanks teddy.

jesus, let it go. You just like complaining. The costs of building things change -- in real dollars. Why not try arguing what you truly believe?

problems caused by corporate malfeasance and shoddy workmanship. Who was in control of workers?

Pumping water out of tunnels is what happens in almost every tunnel where water exists. a mess? perception is not a very good basis to make coherent and cogent arguments regarding civic projects and corporate profits

I live in the Boston area so I know all about the "Big Swindle" (Dig).

Political hacks and Union thugs made a fortune at the expense of the Mass. taxpayer. .....
