That's pocket money if you're working on a project as big as a
self-sustaining underwater community... Just as an example, a swimming
pool is to be built in the town I live. It'll cost about 15 million
guilders (that's some US$8.5 million) according to the contractor, but the
city council says that's too much because he'd originally quoted a price
of something like 5 million for it.

What I'm trying to say is that if a swimming pool with a roof over it
costs $8,500,000, imagine how much an underwater complex for a hundred
people costs to design and build. A few million nuyen won't make all that
much of a difference, IMHO.

This would be a better incentive to try and be the first to build one, if
you ask me.
