This is why US infrastructure is so much more expensive--it sure isn't the labor costs. Germany and Denmark just built an 11 mile under-sea tunnel connecting the two countries that cost $7B. Meanwhile, San Francisco built a 1.7 mile subway that cost $2B--more than the Singapore airport. The institutionalized grift has become endemic in the US. We can't build houses, infrastructure, get healthcare, or any of the things other developed democracies have because bribery/corruption have become legalized as lobbying.
