They spent ten years studying this? What was waste.

I've always thought Chicago is incredibly quiet once you get off the main streets.

I worked on a project like this once. "10 years" means they only had enough money to work on it about 10 hours each year. They likely spent fewer taxpayer dollars on the study in 10 years than an Illinois senator spends on Dowton Abbey office decor in 10 minutes.
