Reply to comment by [deleted] in Amsterdam opens a $65 Million underwater parking garage for bikes by Scarppetta
The government is building it not some company trying to make a profit. They are doing something to help their citizens. I know that sounds like an odd thing depending on what country you are living in.
> So while spending €60 million on an underwater bike garage might still seem like an impossible luxury for most cities, in Amsterdam it’s more like a sound infrastructure investment. “It’s a drop in the bucket compared to investments for highway expansions,” Glaser says, “not to mention the societal public health costs of congestion, car crashes and car dependency.”

Many people who agree with you would also argue that suburbs are financially unsustainable because they cost more tax dollars.
