Yes, expensive proposals are a paradigm shift to what you're used to.
We played like that (even more expensive, actually) from 2001-2005 or so. It worked fine. I would like to try it again and not have it sabotaged out of the gate. So I won't argue that it breaks things or doesn't. It's a gameplay choice that I hope people will try out for a bit before instant-repeal.
