Not at all ... it wasn't a loaded question.
I can't understand changing the design in the middle of such a gargantuan project.
Now nobody wins.
I still can't figure which challenge was most costly, Arnold's or Perata's.
lol.. every question is loaded on california threads these days.
They should have just structurally reinforced the old one, but ...
The problem in figuring which is cheaper is that so much has already been spent getting it to this point.. and costs always go up, not down unfortunately.
