Roads are stupid cheap compared to a certain Californian light rail project.
- foxyv 3y agoCalifornia spends about $200,000 per mile of highway every year. That comes to about $53.6 billion dollars a year just to maintain those highways. That doesn't even count the capital costs of new projects. That doesn't count the $55 billion dollars in medical bills for people injured in accidents. The billions of dollars that people pay for health care required to treat diseases caused by pollution. The cost in lives, time, and crippling injuries is immense. What do we get for it? Being stuck on the 91 choking on the exhaust.

- foxyv 3y agoI think they meant the overly ambitious High Speed Rail project from Los Angeles to Northern California. That is the usual talking point.
