Too often I read about a project, like building a Bridge to Nowhere or to an Airport, without mention on the number of people or vehicles, now and five years from now, that would use the bridge, Airport, Shopping Mall, Shipping Dock, Train Tunnel, Street Tunnel, etc.
I have seen the building of a shipping port without a plan on how to remove the shipping containers or, even worse, assume a solution that is either uneconomical or intolerable to the public, like using 20 trains daily through the middle of a many cities. The trains travel at an uneconomical 10 mph.

The benefit may be when the backers have to support a project, for personal gain, and the facts indicate the investment with public funds will not be justified by meager, or no, benefit.
Yes, you think it never happens, I KNOW it does.
