Sunk costs should never be considered.Who says you have to consider the sunk cost? You do have compare the cost of completing ESA to alternatives entailing ESA and of course the do-nothing alternative. Well, what do you propose instead to do? Do nothing? OK, then there's nothing happening to increase LIRR capacity into New York. Nothing happening to relieve congestion on the E route, or on the 7 route, from LIRR commuters heading to territory served by ESA. Do something other than ESA? OK, what then? Depending on how large a deviation from present plans, it may require going through the first steps all over again. It might be preferable, though, depending on what the alternative is. But if it requires more regulatory approval, it would almost certainly take longer than the present plan. But I am open to this idea of doing something else. |
