No one will care about the price tag after a few years. The Boston big dig cost over $10billion in the 90s and now nobody cares about the cost anymore and only see how big of an improvement it was for the community and the city.

That project was an enormous boondoggle and had so many issues that I would hope that there's a better takeaway than "no will care about the price eventually." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig#Problems

I guarantee you that the planning departments in Boston do not only see the positives of this project.
