$1 million to rename a street (www.kut.org)

A reminder of why it is stupid for governments to name things after people. It costs $1 million to change the signage to that person’s name. Then another million to change it back when you later decide that person is problematic.

It's wild you think it's a flat rate....

But yeah, shouldn't name streets after someone till they're long gone and there's no more skeletons in their closet
