Honestly $19B doesn't sound so bad considering in Boston we can't even build a 3 mile above ground extension to the Green Line for less than $2 Billion.

  Given that keeping weed illegal is costing New York $2-3 billion per year, it's really not that bad.

    I'm not sure if this estimate includes police and judicial resources as well as missed tax revenues, but it should
    • Alex3917 8y ago
      It does. The New York comptroller estimates that tax revenue alone would be ~1.3B per year. I couldn't find a good estimate on the judicial costs though.

  That’s what they are claiming up front. It’s a $100B project, at minimum.
