Well, I'm not a New Yorker, and I don't know if I ever will be, but I'm a big fan of national projects. Bridges, high-speed rail, moon/mars projects, artificial islands!

Yeah, it makes some people a lot of money, but it also makes a lot of jobs and maintains the idea that America is a country of people who build great things. I'd gladly see some money diverted into these sorts of projects.
