Economy Updated project canceled: California bullet train costs soar to $77 billion

[TheRuthlessOne]

I'd be down with California/LA having better public transportation

Feel like we are decades behind other equally as busy cities

Disturbing.

Who would have thought building a massive infrastructure project through thousands of miles of varied ubran, suburban, and rural regions would be so complicated?

 

[HunterSdVa29]

they've been 'working' on an intersection for it in the Kramer Junction area (by Barstow) for like five years now hahahahahaha

 

[JDragon]

Disturbing.

Crave should learn about these transgressions

 

[TheTimeIsNotNow]

Some people got very rich off of this debacle

 

[HunterSdVa29]

Newsome may be a little progressive on some things, but he's not a complete loon. Hopefully this is the start of ending ol Moonbeam projects that are ridiculous.

I wouldn't do that to @Revolver . I heard Crave pays MODS. Revolter has a family and overall besides being a racist and a hater, he's a pretty good guy. I wouldn't take $ out of his Applebees fund.

How much money was taken from Californians to go in to a project that never got off the ground?

Where did that money go, and how will you be collecting that refund?

It was so corrupt from day one. LoL

 

[Bloody Pulp]

I don’t like Newson at all but have to give him props for this.

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

Have some respect

This project was stupid anyway. I'm glad to see it scrapped. Spend the money on fixing our shitty roads.

It’s not that complicated if you have a strong central government that just rams its plan through and beats the shit out of anyone in its way. Many countries have that. Trying to do it with a super corrupt California legislature in a lawyer and law infested state, on the other hand, was just impossible.

Good. The idea was stupid to begin with.

I was told airplanes were more stupider and we need magic trains

And that was always the point.

 

[GrandNewb]

But AOC told us that trains were the future, and we need to get rid of planes and stuff...

How is a bullet train a bad idea? It may have been a bad project but it's a much better idea than driving around. Safer, cheaper, greener.
