Apparently a lot of the cost is to get around various zoning regulations and to keep from needing approvals from other city departments (eg. supposedly the thing must be completely attached to the pole because if it touched the sidewalk they would need approvals from the department in charge of sidewalk maintenance).
Which objectively speaking makes it even more absurd, but in a certain perverse way makes sense.
Are you telling me too much government is bad? You don't say.
