Is that freeway going through the middle of the city? I think not. Any construction in a dense city becomes expensive. But you need to divide that by the number of people using it as well. Everyone in the city can use a subway. Only that one house on top of the hill is using this pretty expensive road that goes to the top of the hill in the middle of nowhere.

- Lvl999Noob 3y agoDude. Did you read the rest of my comment? It is obviously expensive to spend 100U (some hypothetical unit since I don't wanna waste time looking for the exact numbers) instead of 10U. But it is more expensive when each one of a 1000 people have to spend that 10U rather than all of those 1000 people contributing 0.1U to get 100U total.
