How in the world can it cost $2.5M for a feasibility study of this? Does it take 20 man years to figure this out?

A good use for AirBnB?
I get it that families need a place to stay. When I was looking after my mom, I stayed in the room with her in the hospital and also use AirBnB. Honestly, when my mom was sick, I only slept in the room, and spent the entire day and evening with my mom.

Just build the darn place! It's needed- just ask 100 people on the street, pay the guy $200 for his time, and since I bet 90 people will agree it's needed, we'll go for it!
Good? Good! $2.5M minus $200 saved.

I read the comment to mean 2.5 million for the entire project, including feasibility. The community benefit to support families who are priced out of local hotels is the right thing to do!
