1. The method of financing |

is similar to the original Interstate plan proposed by Eisenhower -a mixture of bonds and the sale of suddenly valuable land near the stations/interchanges. Of course we didn't do that in the end, as we preferred to have the developers and speculators make their Republican fortunes.
Even at a cost of 20 billion euros, either this plan or the closer ring the Socialist's propose would be quite the bargain, especially considering the alternative of more automobile-derived sprawl. I can't imagine how ungodly awful that would be.
