Good news, it costs 2 million dollars per square foot, so they won't militarise the police further with it.

There is an old Russian joke.
Son asks his father, "Daddy, I've heard the price of vodka went up, does it mean you will be drinking less?", and the father answers "No, son, you will be eating less".
