    Bitchfork is correct. High speed rail is good for short distances. Remember a lot of the cuntries who have it are only 300 or 400 miles long. Vancouver-Seattle-Po(r)tland, DC-NY-Boston megalopolis, and something in the Midwest maybe. LA to San Fransicko is pushing it in terms of efficiency. Tucson to Phoenix might work. I hate I-10 traffic and it's only two lanes from Pinal County until Chandler. Any accident causes low i.q. rubberneckers to stare.

    Another business trend by the way along with robots is the remote office work from home really catching on. I can sit here in my bathrobe lobbing insults on HH instead of sitting in a car to get to an office where I can lob insults on HH

    Its the most efficient fix to transportation issues.

    Zactly THIS. The Future is Bright for those who can see it.

    Boeing’s fleet is currently a 2 seat, 4 seat, 50 seat, 100 seat vertical takeoff/landing. Can land in a Target parking lot.

    Anything less than say 2 hour flight is pretty good

    Trains are pretty sweet. Show up like 10 mins early, get on, hit the bar cart.

    Wasn't Pelosi's husband, or one of those witches, get this billion dollar contract for the development? Hilarious that the California government felt they could build something. Wonder where all those funds go now... Or even if they really felt they'd be successful and simply pulled a huge money grab.

    The first high speed rail was completed in 1964. There is nothing like 55 year old tech 85 years later!
