What is your suggestion to kickstart an economy in a lengthy recession?
The government will continue to run in the red and slowly bleed or we can rip the bandaid off, and create a spark to the economy.
Urban sprawl and the approval of new developments with extremely high vacancies are 2 examples of wasting money with no benefit of sparking the economy.
And the figure was 2-3 times the cost of Olympics depending on what you want to consider as a cost to urban sprawl but there is no denying this is a huge expense to the average tax payer.
