| #3 building a 1000+ mi four lane road in Russia shouldn't be the kind of ordeal it would be in the US, e.g., witness the experience of the progress of I-69 which was designated back in 1991 and is currently about 25% complete no enviromental orgs armed with hundreds of lawyers and feeding off bizzare feel good legislation no extortion from labor unions no prohibition against using prison labor no rate commission that has to approve toll increases no ROW acquisition delays you do have to bribe the right people however |
