Still, the underground portion of dulles is miniscule, and the easement being set aside for the Largo Extension helped trem,endously. Also, the very shallow enclosed box on the Largo extension is a couple of orders of magnitude less expensive than what New York has to do.My intent was to set the facts straight at to what was elevated, what was on the surface and what was in subway on the both projects. Your description of comparing apples to apples made it sound more like comparing apples to fried chicken. By stating the facts a brought the comparison back to apples and oranges. What seem to be missing from this discussion is the affect organized labor and all the associated rules and regulation that goes with it has on the cost of building things in New York City.
