I have absolutely zero faith in california high speed rail doing anything within my lifetime while China can build hundreds of miles in a few years.
- sroussey 2y agoIt should have followed the 5 and by passed the towns in the Central Valley. The republicans there felt that was a terrible idea and should instead go through where there was much more built out. But stuff would have been built out from the stops, they didn’t need to swing in like that. And so many more landowners as you approach cities and the need to slow down. Such a cluster.
- jeffbee 2y agoWe had a statewide election to decide this. Bypassing Fresno isn't what passed on the ballot. Either the system serves Fresno or the bonds don't exist.
- WillPostForFood 2y agoThe ballot initiative was all lies. 220mph rail, $50 tickets, Anaheim to SF. La to San Diego in an hour. It was all BS to get votes. And the one thing they stuck to was Fresno? How about forget Fresno, and work on 220mph.
- jeffbee 2y agoNone of those things are in the proposition. The proposition requires design speeds of 200MPH, somewhere in the system. LA to SD in 80 minutes. SF to LA in 160 minutes. Nothing about the ticket prices. You imagined all of that.
