For another point of reference here - Palo Alto's annual city budget is over $900 million.. $150M over 8 years represents at most 2% of the budget over that time frame. They're already planning much of that work, and big portions are already included in their annual capital budget, so realistically, the net increase is maybe 1% of the budget? 1.5%? It's a serious amount of money so should be appropriately weighed, but to pretend like it's fantastical is just disingenuous.
