    It is infinitely embarrassing that a simple roof as a shade is supposed to cost 13 million € or 5 million €.

    Who is kidding themselves here.

    Good on the Brussels local government for not allocating those funds.

      It would not have been a simple roof, but yes, it should have been built.

      Green spaces and places to relax socially are always a good thing.

        I agree on the green and social places. The thing I don’t understand and where we disagree, is why everything always has to be such a dick measuring contest.

        13 million Euros?! 13 MILLION Euros?

        Not for a mansion, but for some… thing that’s supposed to nothing but block a little sun in the summer?!

          It’s a lot of money for sure, but it doesn’t strike me as way off the mark given the size. As a fun exercise, check how much it costs to repave a street in your hometown and make sure you’re sitting down first.
