That's certainly a big piece of it. Additionally, I think our politics are a touch different too in the fact that there's a notion of "providing value to the taxpayers".

Why go all out and spend $30B of tax money on a 5-star world-besting air travel palace, when the 3-star, but still totally functional, $15B airport will also get the job done?
