This is the Griffith Park Pool in Los Angeles
LA Mayor Karen Bass is planning to renovate this pool, the cost will be $40 MILLION and the time to complete is 3 years
The renovation will include a pool house with gender-neutral and inclusive changing rooms
Only in California could it cost $40 million to renovate a pool
This is so insane I actually looked up real costs:
For a “normal person” like a private homeowner in California, a comparable large concrete pool project would cost roughly $150,000 to $500,000 total
This is not anywhere near $40 million
Earlier estimates were $29 million but the costs quickly grew to $40 million and a completion date of 2029
