- PunchTornado 7y agouseful infrastructure. I see plenty of vanity projects floating around, hate to see Germany implementing some.
- rossdavidh 7y agoI'm not saying your point isn't valid, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Brandenburg_Airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Brandenburg_Airport Not all German infrastructure spending turns out well.
- turbinerneiter 7y agoBER is it's own special case, but the general gist I'm piecing together from media reports is that Germany has a planning problem because there are not enough government workers to plan projects. For example, there is a budget reserved for infrastructure. The poor regions often fail to produce good enough project plans in time. The richer regions have more planners and present additional projects at the end of the year to get the left over money.
