“The $27 million figure is BS.
Being familiar with construction, I know if will cost far more than $110 per sign. It would require several men to travel, set up ladders/platforms at thousands of locations and work at heights. The signs would also have to be placed at the proper locations and orientations.
When all the mistakes, accidents, union fighting and regulations are done with, I’d be surprised if it only costs $100 million. Then add a few giant city lawsuits from people or ambulances getting lost due to sign mistakes.”
—Great point!
But think of all the JOBS this change is creating!!!! Cities across the country will have to hire tons of new employees just to change out the signs.
Don’t laugh. This actually IS how govt. creates jobs.
