Boston 2024 details insurance plan; but what if stadium developer pulls a Filene's Hole?

The final cost of the Big Dig is $2.1B. Matt Young is what this team needs to put us over the top. Boston Schools are improving every day. A black guy shot Carol Stuart. Sure, I will respect you in the morning. We do not need insurance for cost overruns.

is it that only some of us see this as a major problem?

private developers will be handed large chunks of land - and associated risks - at the two locations to build Olympic facilities in exchange for being allowed to build mega-developments on the land before and after the games.

The Big Dig was the most expensive highway project in the US, and was plagued by escalating costs, scheduling overruns, leaks, design flaws, charges of poor execution and use of substandard materials, criminal arrests,[2][3] and one death.[4] The project was originally scheduled to be completed in 1998[5] at an estimated cost of $2.8 billion (in 1982 dollars, US$6.0 billion adjusted for inflation as of 2006).[6] However, the project was completed only in December 2007, at a cost of over $14.6 billion ($8.08 billion in 1982 dollars, meaning a cost overrun of about 190%)[6] as of 2006.[7] The Boston Globe estimated that the project will ultimately cost $22 billion, including interest, and that it will not be paid off until 2038.[8] As a result of the death, leaks, and other design flaws, the consortium that oversaw the project agreed to pay $407 million in restitution, and several smaller companies agreed to pay a combined sum of approximately $51 million.[

If there was ever a politician I want to see perp walked, it's the penis that walks erect that is Marty Walsh. Even funnier was Rich Davey in the Herald.

Boston 2024 CEO Richard Davey defended the mandated so-called Olympic Route Network, saying the private lanes, which would only be in use when needed, have “proven to be efficient for the Olympics and also proven to be fairly innocuous for the city residents.”

Davey also predicted that congestion will be avoided because people who don’t have to drive will stay off the roads during the Olympics and summer traffic is typically lighter.

“We looked at other Olympics Games over the last 20, 30 years, and every city’s experienced a drop in traffic somewhere 
between 5 and 50 percent,” 
Davey said.

“We also know just based on (state) traffic counts in and around the city of Boston that, in the summertime, traffic falls by about 10 percent.”

Mr.Davey obviously hasn't been down the Southeast Expressway at 2:30 in the afternoon lately.

Crooks. Every single one of them.
