yes but it drives up the initial costs you have to pay long before you have any income - it's a major hurdle - and then its a sunk cost right at the start . The time value of money means it's far more important than the same sum later - it really hits the NPV calculation.
It will either be saved or not. I'd like it to reopen, but I'm not naive enough to think iit's more than 50/50
