few days ago, the Mayor of Turin to visit the incinerator Gerbido justified the city's debt by declaring that stemmed from numerous public works undertaken including the hundred million invested because of the incinerator. Apart from the easy joke, which removed the hundred million more remain to justify 5.6 billion, a joke that still hides the truth, one wonders if it is true that the mayor said.
A man is considered a good father if under certain conditions, makes a loan to buy the house, but even if it makes a loan to buy your new car is beginning to look at him with suspicion. If the man makes loans for holidays or for TV last model is just a disgrace. One must ask, then, what would the debt was created in Turin. Certainly build the incinerator is a good thing, but if we think works for the Olympics is not so. If you pass Via Giordano Bruno can see the Olympic village desperately empty. Or the Olympic footbridge. Definitely a work aesthetically pleasing, but it's not clear what it's for. The same underground work in theory certainly commendable and necessary, but with the layout so determined is not clear how it will be useful to citizens. Will only serve to reach the Lingotto mall and Eataly? Another work is the famous Palafuksas abandoned in Piazza della Repubblica, currently used only as support for some idle. Of course it is gratifying to have a plan written by a famous architect, but in essence it is as if the father to purchase the latest fashion phone debt and nothing more.
Another white elephant is the Arena Rock, designed for large concerts is basically useless when there is Palaisozoaki among other things that can host concerts with a capacity of 18,500 seats. How Woodstock can never be organized in Turin in a year? And for those rare events there is always the most important stage. We add that you do not understand how a bathroom wall and a few may come to cost 5 million euro. Clearly we do not want a complete list, but only a few example to show that greater caution would have prevented the people of Turin a national debt so high.
