They dropped over $1B for a grand total of three high schools. For that kind of coin, they could have built the Trump Tower and had a couple hundred million left for a NBA-class basketball arena and a major-college level football stadium for the athletic department. Also, the Trump Tower would have been cheaper than these three high schools in terms of total square feet. I actually voted yes on that stupid bond measure, figuring the money was going to fix up crappy high school buildings and do seismic retrofit - as the measure stated. If I'd known it was going anywhere near "world-class architects", it would have been an automatic "no". The other fun thing is they built two other mega high schools for another $500M.
