Thus my caveat.
The caveat being "unless no one else wants to play at that price?" That's not how the WPA worked. One of my go-to housewarming gifts used to be "look up the house in the historic register and get a framed photo of it that was taken in 1936." Government hired painters, playwrights, photographers, actors, whatever. Like, we had Jackson Pollack on the payroll. What's really funny is I recall you being all in on Trump's whole "no buildings unless they look like Rome" thing and there is zero classic architecture built by anyone other than government. We've seen this show before - when it requires railroad baron money to build railroads, you end up with barons.
