AGI is easier than getting New York City to complete an infrastructure project in less than a decade or less than a billion dollars.

The corruption and graft run so deep you would have to literally murder a lot of people to get that to happen.

What indication do you have that the construction time for tunnel 3 is due to corruption or even that it's taking longer than necessary? It seems like a very large engineering project; sometimes those take time.

Call me crazy, but I don't think $6B for a 60-mile, deep-bore tunnel through the densest urban core in the US is that much money.

Why is NYC so corrupt when large cities like London, Munich, and even Paris are much less so?

Yes. That's exactly my point.
