    A few billion? Vancouver BC is spending that on an new sewage treatment plant.

    How could a tunnel like this be built and functional for a few billion? Perhaps hundreds of billions… maybe.

      It may have been a hundred or two billion. I haven’t read the proposal in over a decade, and I just remember that the number, while large, was still a rounding error compared to the US budget.
