Reply to comment by MandatoryDissent55 in New York will demolish and elevate a waterfront park to fight floods, angering some neighbors by Mosanso

You are suggesting a park is being demolished and rebuilt with a flood wall not because climate change is real but because it's a grand conspiracy of government officials making up fake projects to give money to construction companies.

But, sure, I am in a trance.

You are suggesting that $221M is being spent legitimately to raise a 200' by 600' park...

...The entire park, you claim is being raised without leaving street level areas with walls, even though that park contains two very large landmarks which border the waterfront and cannot be raised.

So how much do you think it costs to demolish and rebuild a coastal park in Manhattan? I'd love to hear how you've scoped this out.

They're demolishing a sunbathing platform and a few hundred feet of footpaths, then packing down landfill and walling off sections while laying new footpaths and some sod and saplings.

$20,000,000 would be overly expensive. Anything above that is going to corruption.
