Considering it was the first of its kind ever built (design-build) and it has experienced massive stabilization problems due to current undermining the huge cement base in the channel, contributions to major land loss due to water turbidity & flow, and I’m not going to go into the negative ecological impacts of the project I would say the ecological damage & on-going maintenance costs will be astronomical for NY.
Also that water has to go somewhere which means other areas outside the wall will see increased flooding of historic portions.
