- The quoted post argues that the Las Vegas Loop is being built at about $10 million per mile, claiming that is roughly 200x cheaper than Sound Transit.
- It compares that number to the cost of the Link Light Rail to Ballard and says that, at that price, you could build a subway under essentially every street.
- The attached maps contrast the Loop route with Seattle-area transit service, making the post a cost-comparison take on urban infrastructure.
