"And btw, given the cost of land acquisition, a $100 billion cost estimate may not be that far off. " The estimates I saw put that at the largest costs. All of the area in question is prime farm land. Dallas to Houston is hardly West Texas. And the time period in question was the peak of farming in Texas. I know, I have several cousins who took up farming during those years. Things have changed. I know my cousins would get out, pennies on the dollar. I do grant that I might not remember the dollar figure all that well. It was a long time ago and the impact of multi-billion dollar projects is different now.
