LGA is the Platonic perfect form of a dump airport. Considering this is NYC we are talking I think the over/under on costs will be $8 billion and the over/under on completion time should be 36 months not 18 months.

When it’s done, it’ll be a $28-billion dollar facelift.

Four billion, my a$$

How is it possible to spend $4 billion in such a small area in such a short time? Even without cost overruns, this seems pricey.

They should start over someplace else. Last place looks irrecoverable to me. I like the sign on a nearby rooftop: IF YOU CAN READ THIS SIGN, ADD POWER.

$4 Billion Tax Dollars in New York City might, and I repeat MIGHT, get you two or three OAHA/ADA-compliant bathrooms.

So, who’ll be paying for La Shartia’s make over? NYers or will it be funded federally (We the Taxpayer?).

I tried to do a search on who’s paying, but couldn’t find anything. TIA for any info.

More importantly... what percent of the 4 billion will unions send back to Democrats?

LOL...the unions (SEIU) are already complaining that they weren’t consulted on how much they’d be getting paid for this reno work. Good grief...are they EVER happy?

Ya...the mob alone will want $4B of the action since the Dem’s expect to get half of that back in campaign donations.

You are far too generous.After 10 years and $45 billion the project will still not be complete and the Democrats in New York will blame a republican somewhere for budget cuts.

That’s one billion for aluminum siding and 3 billion for payoffs.

Looking forward to flying in to LGA to see the 3 dudes who are actually working on the project (2700 no show jobs).

I heard $8 Billion, but so what.

I don't fly as much as I used to, but I always found LGA to to the most convenient of the three NYC airports. I've never cared about shops (Really! Who pays those prices anyway?) and rarely about restaurants beyond coffee and fast food. (Also overpriced.) I think the only restaurant I have any sort of pleasant memory of was up in Montreal (Dorval). I want a short walk from the curb to the gate, and a quiet place to sit and wait for the plane. That's it. I doubt if I've ever spent more than a total of $5 leaving all the airports I've ever left (excluding currency exchange). I just want to get the hell out. LGA's fine. But flying taxpayers don't count.
