I never got to go to a drive in, but I imagine the idea of trying to get a nice old fashioned in the car while watching a movie would be very romantic.

They were fun. But who needs a drivein when you can simply Netflix and chill in a basement.

When you stop and consider multi-passenger, on demand autonomous drone technology is in use and scaleable today, fixed point, fixed schedule choo choo train technology 20 years out seems rather silly.

It doesn't if you keep them above ground as a go between major metros that link to local rail transit.

If they are private the build time would be very low.

Portland metro area resident here:

Fixed rail lines are dumb.

As a visitor to Portland, I appreciate the rail lines. San Diego is cool too. No DUI when you can catch the light rail from gas lamp.

That being said, I've been on the rail from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and it's awful. I've used it in San Francisco and it works well there. The airport to downtown Seattle is nice but it's limited to just that basically.

Rail from San Fran to LA is dumb when there's 3 airports to the Bay area and 3 in LA area all with direct flights. Really across the west, rail doesn't make sense other than in some cities.

2021 they open the extension that goes all the way to Northgate, with midpoint stations at Roosevelt and the U-District. Should help eliminate some of the traffic shitshow on I-5 and also make it easier to get anywhere from the U-District without dealing with slow ass busses.

It won't help eliminate some traffic. The growth of Amazon, Expedia, etc. jobs downtown will just replace the cars on the freeway that will take the rail. That said, it's better than doing nothing with traffic.

Amazon and jobs in the same paragraph, el oh el. Yeah Amazon will help with jobs and traffic. They will be putting so many more people out of work and into their basements that traffic won't be much of a concern in the future. #KillAmazon

Please 'splain that. How is providing a distribution platform a job killer?

Or are you talking their web services which provide tech guys with a means to do cool shit?

I don't give a fuck about their Indian tech cunts. They can go back to Delhi and get fucked by Shiva. Sears, Macy's and others are closing a huge amount of stores. Malls are dying.
