It will be impossible for most cities to try and emulate this one. In most cities it could take years to fill a pot hole or fix an escalator at the airport. I once watched a renovation and a fresh up of an area of about 250 SQ/FT (tile, paint) take 3 years to complete. They actually closed one of two entrances to the Subway for 3 years to do a job that two guys could do in a weekend (Runnymede Subway Station, Toronto Ontario). It took so long a lawyer friend actually wrote a letter to the TTC and City asking what happened and why is it taking so long? They couldn't answer, they basically said it is very complicated. Can you imagine such a dysfunctional city trying to build itself out? It is like this all over Canada.
