that's the dumbest reason I've heard to build a canal
Who's going to pay those incerased real estate prices?
You and I
I'd rather spend that money on something more sensible like civilian airliner R&D
or a freaking space telescope
Where do you see me say that as the reason to build it?
It's just one of the benefits.
The canal is a great idea, it creates a lot of jobs immediately and a lot of wealth creation for all the (poor and rich) land and property owners in the canal area.
New toll roads and bridges will bring in money for Istanbul.
I also hope Turkish aeronautics and aerospace industries will really take off soon too but I highly doubt that the only thing getting in the way of that is money.
I don't like akp but they are not stupid, this is a great plan.I just wish they make more of these mega scale projects outside of the Istanbul area.
