It's still a horrible sculpture. I don't care if private people wanna waste their money tho.

Fair enough. Private money can be spent however they want. Was the land purchased as well? What was there previously?

Outside of throwing the money in the river, any project would've accomplished that.

It was a complete waste of funds. It is not relevant that the money still exists in the economy.

That is what I said. I just had to break it down a little further for those that were struggling to comprehend my simple message.

Gone from the city's budget and unavailable for services to the people who funded said budget.

Not that hard to comprehend, right?

Right out the window. Gonna cost a lot to eventually remove the monstrosity as well.
