Q:
How do you say this in English (US)? Thank you for opening the YYY!

is natural?

i never knew that it takes money and effort to set up a YYY.
is natural?
Japanese
YYYをオープンしてくれてありがとう!
YYYをつくるのにお金や労力がかかることを私は今まで知らなかった。
A:
It is fairly natural, but it seems a bit odd to say "I never knew that it takes money and effort" because most people would assume it takes _some_ amount of money and effort to do pretty much anything. The question is just how much it takes.
Also, for this sort of situation it is more common to say "I never realized" instead of "I never knew", I think. So I think this might more often be said as:
"I never realized how much money and effort it takes to set up a YYY"
