Good luck building 2 hospitals and a school for that price considering the new maternity and cancer ward in Aberdeen (which has a huge hospital site already so land isn’t an issue) is to cost over £400m.
If you cherry pick a badly run upgrade to a run-down hospital in the middle of a city as an example then of course the numbers will be high.
If (like me) you choose a badly needed community hospital in a more remote and deprived area then £30m is easily enough.
I don’t want a penny of my taxes going on these particular elections since it is a massive waste and your flawed logic isn’t going to convince me otherwise.
Cherry pick? I gave a real life example. You’re making up numbers out of thin air to try and, what, prevent the democratic process?
But okay, let’s go for this again. You’ve now stipulated remote and deprived. Let’s try a primary school this time though. How much could that really cost?
Well, turns out it’s £18 million in a remote coastal town that has known poverty for the majority of its existence.
So £45 million left to create 2 new hospitals? 10% of the real life example that you’ve dismissed just because it proved you wrong. So 5% of a real life example, per hospital.
Aye, sure, awa and bile yer heed yi ignorant twerp.
£63m is less than £1 per UK citizen.

What the fuck is Scotland doing wrong?

Three new primary schools for £31m within a short commute of London.
63/10.3 = 6 Primary schools.
…and based on your reply that education is sorely needed.
