old cities tend to grow higher, because over the years they just build on top of old stuff. it's why you can find entire neighborhoods underground in modern rome.

philly was here well before you were born and will be here well after you're dead. no excuse not to build it anyway.

i know it's a big project, which is why i say just build it already. i've seen too many big projects explode in cost as they sit and wait, if only due to inflation. political changes come and projects die.
just build it already. and i'm saying that because of the complexity, not because i don't understand the complexity.
i'd rather have something that is five years overschedule and billions over cost but is eventually complete than nothing at all.

i hope it's a step towards burying the whole damn thing, ala the big dig in boston.
everyone complained about the pain of construction, the cost, etc. but the results are permanent and the benefits will last a hundred years.
