Probably very few. But what I'm more or less getting at is that both are frivolous, at least to a certain degree, but the difference is that one of them is being used by the people that pay some of the highest taxes, and the other one cost 6x the amount and is being used by peopel that paid some of the lowest taxes, or no taxes at all.
I maybe should have used Crowchild as an example. Sorry, residents of Tuscany and Cochrane, I don't support all the overpasses all the way down Crowchild so that you could get to Kensington Rd or 5th stree to stop. Those should be overpasses or at least improved intersections way before Nose Hill Drive.
The people in the inner city are paying the bulk of the taxes, but the bulk of the taxes are being spent on the outer city. That's BS, AFAIC.
