@TODNewsHub@joshuawx_ Permitting, US style land ownership, high labor rates, high land values, actually caring about the ecosystem drives a lot of this.
If the US had slave labor, and was in the desert, and the US government had ultimate eviction authority, and was a manufacturing powerhouse maybe
@TODNewsHub@joshuawx_ More parking near transit incentives way more last mile transit. If I am in the exurbs or outside of walking distance to the metro and want to use transit, I will need a place to park my car, let alone if I live in the apartments above ofc.

@lolothe2nd@thataniwitguy@Stan_Incarnated 1) True... Or at least they did

@Keilman71@gietzschean Yes but with them being in Concaf there will be a ceiling unless it gets a significantly more viewership so that the MLS becomes a super league. Otherwise there's not going to be high level fun competition like the Champions League.
@Hutman_RM 1) The stadium isn't done
2) 1.57 Billion USD would be about what was spend for the US Bank Stadium in Minnesota, which isn't even a world cup venue and is significantly smaller than Spotify Camp Nou
