Didn’t Bostom have something called the “Big Dig” that cost us taxpayers about 1000 X what was originally projected, and then as soon as they finished, it started falling apart and killing people?

I guess they need another 50 year project to feed the trolls.

Original estimated cost was $2.8 billion, and it’s at $22 billion now and still climbing. The Big Dig is 3.5 miles long, so that comes out to about $6 billion per mile.
