VA hospital in Denver? 1.73 billion. More than 3 times original projected cost.

Did you know: The Pentagon, when it was built, cost $83 million and took 16 months to build.

The VA hospital in Denver has tripled in original cost to $1.73 billion, with a $180 million parking lot. Has been being built for several years with about three more years projected.

Look at this design. I'm not in the business, but all I see are dollar signs, from the number of buildings, all the curved glass, the gynormous atrium running down the whole thing.

No way that could've been built for $500 million. What were they thinking? Or was no one thinking?
