Reply to comment by MandatoryDissent55 in New York will demolish and elevate a waterfront park to fight floods, angering some neighbors by Mosanso

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.
