They should've contracted Elon Musk to do it.
China and UAE are just building it now.
JAPAN has had this shit for over 40 years now!
Fuck everyone that voted for this stupid shit.
From my understanding, the voting took place a decade ago, and the specifics were much much different than they are now.
What they're building is a far more expensive. Bastardized version.
The plan they presented a decade ago was unworkable. There were plenty speaking up at the time about it. We just have an extremely dumb voting base here in California.
If it meant getting from LA to SF in 1 hour it'd be worth every penny but this is a full day train ride that won't even happen for two more decades. This project should have been started and completed last century.
While China and UAE build state of the art transportation and infrastructure, we're over here building century old choo-choo trains in the year 2018.
It has to be a joke
I don't any of the details, but what was unworkable about it?
Who would have thought that large infrastructure projects through varied urban and rural environments across hundreds of miles could be so complicated?
I appreciate your post by my post was really just a veiled jab at Trump's border wall.
Japan?
Isnt he building part of it and more fence?
This whole train bullshit is only to make politicians more money, again. Governor moonbeam and some other politicians bought a bunch of land between Fresno and bakersfield for pennies on the dollar. Now they're trying to increase the value of their investments with putting a train on it.
