    I hear they are going to continue the train into the central valley. It's vital to the agricultural community. The same community whom they cut large amounts of water off to. Because it's vital to their business. Gee I've never seen a high speed freight train. Can't wait. No one wants to go to the fucking central valley.

    dude...everyone wants to ride the train from Modusto to Bakedfield

    and when you’re here Now but you need to be There by a deadline, all ya gotta do is



    and regardless of surface street traffic conditions, you’ll be delivered just on time, as Expected.

    Imagine being in a Van pool today with 49 others. Imagine taking 7 of those vans off the roads forever. Arriving more reliably, safer. Once dropped off, that drone continues to a new on-demand assignment perhaps taking another 7 carpool vans off the street forever. Then another, then another, Same drone.

    If only somebody with aeronautical manufacturing experience would team up with an on demand passenger logistics company and develop something like this.

    This kind of technology is interesting. I’m thinking (if done well), our cities would end up looking like the Fifth Element:



    Problem is figuring out the traffic for all those drones/flying cars:

    Okay so a high speed train project was started in Cali in 2008 by a Republican governor, and in 2019 Democrat governor announces its not a good use of taxpayer money and plans to scale it back.

    So what the fuck are all of you alt-right wannabes buttfucking eachother about?

    1996.

    The high speed rail act (CHSRA) was passed in California in 1996.

    Trump asking for 3.5 billion in federal tax money back. And it should be sent back. According to some Kali is so rich that's a drop in the bucket.

    But still

    Note the intelligent argument uzi put forth. It was compelling

    1996.

    The high speed rail act (CHSRA) was passed in California in 1996.

    1996 is just when a planning authority was formed.

    2008 is when voters approved the money and the plan, under a Republican Governor.

    "In 2008, California voters approved the issuance of $9 billion in bonds for high speed rail in Proposition 1A,[34] a measure to construct the initial segment of the network."

    formed in 1996 to develop for a 1998 ballot measure.

    Try and keep up.

    It only took 23 years for the opposition to be proven right.

    IMO people vote for rail hoping the other people fucking up their car commute use it

    California allows you to pay to use the car pool lane as a single. A wonderful innovation especially if the company pays for it

    For all the tree hugger green free pub Cali gets they build roads down here. The people demand it. It was one thing that surprised me when I came here. Lots and lots of freeways and more since I got here

    Saying that the voters approved the money for the plan under a Republican Gov. is technically correct but very misleading. It was a fucking ballot measure. The public voted in favor of it based up on the lies that were being told to sell it and because California voters are dumb as dogshit.

    Jerry Brown, a Rat Gov. is who kept this boondoggle alive for the last eight years after it had long became obvious that it was a shit plan that was nothing more than a black-hole that sucks up public money.

    Whatever California is doing, every other state just needs to do the opposite, and they'll be fine.
