re: #267 Obdicut
Many of the projects that have generated controversy such as this have been larger, or involve the name Trump.
Wait, I take it back - the renovation of Washington Square Park or Union Square, NYU’s plans to expand in Manhattan at various times (different projects have different costs). Various development projects involving the MTA. The Prudential Center in Newark was $300 million.
Construction accidents on smaller projects can be revealing - such as with crane collapsing revealing all manner of malfeasance by the owners, operators, real estate ventures, etc. There have been all too many of those.
