One must view and comprehend with the future in mind.... As far as New York City goes, its airports and airslots are already full.....and as far as Chicago is concerned, the feds want to spend $8 billion to build another terminal and replot O'Hare's four runways..... Oh, I guess we could flatten Statten Island or the Bronx for another $10 billion + airport..... <br /> <br /> Air congestion is a major concern in both Chicago and New York City..... The idea that the feds should only build more or expand existing airports is a myth in some of our largest major cities..... <br /> <br />And as for value for price, one new rebuilt freeway intersection in Dallas, nicknamed the Dallas high five, is costing the feds over a billion dollars..... yep, one intersection..... <br /> <br />There is plenty of right of way along any number of interstates or along railroad right of way between the two major metropolitan cities..... or we can easily build on new right of way..... such as under major power transmission lines....... similar to light rail in many cities...... <br />
