We're better off spending it on other, more pressing issues or tangible mitigation projects that have other uses and cost less.

If this tunnel and other proposed measures would have prevented the flooding downtown than we should build it immediately. It is tough to tell from the report if this is the case.
At 500 million given this is a 100 year event that is only 5 mil per year. Even if 100% is borrowed its only 15 million or so per year until its paid off. That seems like a pretty good way to spend money.
