Having lived the last 2 years in NYC and the previous 7 in CA I can say that high speed rail is the more valuable project. The water here is fine, and no one is suffering because there isn't a 3rd tunnel. But the transportation situation in California is archaic and frustrating.
Have you ever been trapped in traffic on the grapevine for 4 hours trying to get to/from LA? Or shelled out $300 for an hour flight to SFO? Its maddening.
I drink water out of the tap here in NYC and it tastes great.
California rail is a crisis, the water supply to NYC is not.
- ry0ohki 14y agoHow much will train tickets cost? Taking the high speed rail from DC to NYC costs about the same as flying.
- angersock 14y agoPerhaps, but consider what happens if something does go wrong with the water supply--this is not something that can be patched overnight. A rail system is well and good, but you can at least take a car or bus if you need to. If your water infrastructure stops working, there aren't many other games in town.
