Reply to comment by mowotlarx in New York will demolish and elevate a waterfront park to fight floods, angering some neighbors by Mosanso

You are suggesting that $221M is being spent legitimately to raise a 200' by 600' park...

...The entire park, you claim is being raised without leaving street level areas with walls, even though that park contains two very large landmarks which border the waterfront and cannot be raised.

So how much do you think it costs to demolish and rebuild a coastal park in Manhattan? I'd love to hear how you've scoped this out.

They're demolishing a sunbathing platform and a few hundred feet of footpaths, then packing down landfill and walling off sections while laying new footpaths and some sod and saplings.

$20,000,000 would be overly expensive. Anything above that is going to corruption.
