The way costs are going up the Purple Line will end up costing 20 Billion. At that price it won't get build.
Looking at insane cost escalation for all the major infrastructure projects I think we will soon hit a brick wall. There is no way that governments (regardless of the level) can finance projects that are doubling or quadrupling in cost every few years with tax revenue that is essentially static. Something's gotta give here. This is not financially sustainable. The world may be heading for the Argentina moment...
