^That article wasn't very well researched.
"There is absolutely, positively, completely no reason whatsoever this project should cost London taxpayers ~$100m USD. Not a single good reason"
It's not costing London taxpayers $100m USD (£60m). £36m comes from a ten year sponsorship deal with Emirates, and the rest is funded from fares.
I think it's ace. And while true that the Greenwich peninsula is an absolute dump, things like this can only improve the area.
