Imagine how crushing this news would be to cirrhosis dolezal if he actually lived in California

California voters approved the pricey proposal in 2008. Backers – including several Democratic lawmakers – heralded it as an inventive concept that would connect Californians and transform transit policies down the road.

But critics claimed the bullet train project was a waste of time and money.

“This so-called bullet train is a solution in search of a problem that is plagued by billions of dollars in cost overruns and fiscal mismanagement,” San Diego Councilman Mark Kersey told Fox News in 2018, adding that the billions wasted on the project “could have been invested in our current infrastructure needs, such as water storage, flood control, highways and bridges.” "

"Or a wall" Senator Bannon added laughing at the idiots who voted for this boondoggle in the first place.


"I hope AOC is paying attention," the Senator continued, "this is definitely in my plans as an issue when I run in 2024"

It was only 77 billion wasted. Kalifornia has plenty money comrade. Reeducation camps need funding. No flying trains!

Great news. I didn’t vote for it in 2008. It never made any sense financially, practically or economically. It’s just like trump’s border wall fiasco.

sarktastic

Sure.

• Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle

I'm hearing in 10 years aviation will become obsolete because there will be so many trains built.

High speed rail would have been fantastic about 40 years ago.

Even though Amtrak on the easy coast isn't high speed it kicks the crap out of flying.

I think it would make sense throughout Texas first.

Not too far of distances and nothing in between the cities. That California route is a fucking nightmare.

Phoenix and Tucson actually not a bad idea.

Albuquerque to Santa Fe was a waste. The West coast is too spread out for trains to make sense other than light rail stuff in town. San Diego and Portland both have a sweet setup.

It will be a mute point in 12 years anyways.

Exactly. Flying trains will take over by then.

Hey dumb faggot. <300 miles is perfect for high speed rail.

You can't have shit too close. Then you don't get there fast.

Like 100-250 or 300 is the sweet spot. Especially if it's flat and not much shit in between.

Yes and the East coast is set up for that. But West coast is too Spread out. Albuquerque is lame unless you live right next to the a station and need to go right next to a station. It takes to long when you can just drive. I've made that commute a couple hundred times in the last 10 years.

I've ridden the Railrunner between ABQ and SF a couple times while on a family vacations. Seems like it had good ridership when we were on it. The bathrooms smelled like the 4th Ave Taco Bell bathrooms though. Holy moses it was nasty.
