Not profitable, But for whom?

Contracts that big have a lot of grease and going on. Someone’s leasing that land from someone else.

The people In charge have a friend or two that own a few blocks of land just outside the site? Political capital, bribes, and contracts.

Hell, even the bus or rail line will face the same issues.

A lot of unprofitable ventures happen in government. It’s a sneaky way too steal tax money.
