> Hmmmmmm........the big dig cost $15 billion and there are 5.7 million people in the Boston area for a cost of $2,632 per person. The Alaskan bridge to no where cost $200 million for a population of 14K.......that comes to $14,286 per person. Not to mention that millions of people visit Boston, and I'm sure few people visit that area of Alaska. You've got that one right. The article says there are 2-3 flights per day, and trust me when I tell you, none of those planes are 747s. BTW, the person responsible for that very expensive bridge was the GOP senator from Alaska. More people travel through the big dig in a day than go over that Alaska bridge in a year. ted
