The actual price if any government project is half the estimate but will end up costing half-again more.

A railroad bridge eats up a lot of precious real estate on both sides of the river. There are no bridges over the wide Hudson south of the George Washington, which is about 10 miles north of this site, which is why Sully Sullenberg decide to splash down there.

The Sierra Club likes the ARC tunnel, that should give Mr. Christie pause.

Why would NJ want to fund a project for NJ residents to commute to NYC to work??? Hopefully Christie will turn things around and business will continue to expand in Newark, Chilltown, Hoboken, &c. and payroll tax revenues can remain here and not in the filthy cesspool across the Hudson.

They already have ferries. It was ferries that made those rescues when Sully Sullenberger went down in the Hudson.

This project would take 9 years to complete. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I think in a decade from now you will see much larger numbers of people telecommuting. I personally believe that ridership on mass transit into NY City will actually start to go down over time, not up.

One more thing to think about - a dirty-bomb type in NYC will pretty much make it a no-man’s land. The era of concentrating huge numbers of people in one place, at least in this country, is likely to end soon. It’s only a matter of time.

Or America. American taxpayers are paying for Ted Kennedy's "lasting legacy". Not just the taxpayers of Boston or Massachusetts.

Exactly. Christie said NO to the teachers then he took Fed money for them. IMHO, no difference at all.
It’s all our money and I don’t care to enrich the teachers’ unions.
