And Fairfield County is the most affluent county in CT. It's one big bedroom community for New York City. According to C-D, its median household income is nearly $104,000. http://www.city-data.com/city/Newtown-Connecticut.html
I don't see the problem if Newtown's taxpayers agree to foot this bill. Why do you all have a problem with what they do?

If only things that affected one personally were allowed here as subject matter, 99.9% of the threads on equal marriage rights for gays wouldn't exist.
They took their time demolishing SH. Within days of the seige at Waco the remains of the compound was bulldozed because of standing water and mosquittoes. That was a lot fishy and an obvious crime occured and was being erased..
As was pointed out by some one else ,being any where with similar surroundings will bring back memories .
Memories of twenty six-year old's being slaughtered while they sat at their desks.
But we'll let the conservatives tell them they just have to toughen up because people they don't even know, with no connection to the Sandy Hook community, think everything is a big waste of money and what the heck is wrong with those sniveling little kids? How come they can't cope with knowing their friends died bloody deaths?
It's not being built at the same site. Not that it matters in any practical sense.
But to address the original post: 50 million dollars seems like a lot of money to erase a tragic memory. This doesn't strike me as a constructive use of resources, much less a rational price tag for what amounts to a communal coping mechanism.
Which leads me to another question that level-headed people might want to ask if we can strip the emotional from the practical: why the bloody hell does it cost over 40 million dollars to build an elementary school to educate 600 students?
Yeah how does it cost that much money. Good question. Hey it's other folks money so nobody cares. Will probably be all green and every classroom wired and every student given a free ipad the whole nine yard probably a 4g phone too in case they have to call 911. Nobody will be issued guns though to stop another shooter.
