Heathrow third runway to get the go ahead

wrote:

When you're in a bust you don't start spending billions on vanity
projects. Even in the boom years heathrow could cope with the
passenger numbers so why build a new runway now when they're
dropping?? Its like saying "oh , theres less traffic on the roads -
lets build some bypasses!"

Surely it's the best time to build public infrastructure?

Building companies are desperate for work and labour is plentiful,
things can be built cheaper and will be ready for when the demand picks up
