Hawaii spent a gazillion bucks telling us how wonderful rail will be, how much time we'll save, all illustrated by beautiful visions from architects being bribed hired to produce drawings of beautifully landscaped futuristic rail stops and stations. For a few months we were inundated by "public service"ads on how wonderful our great mayor was to envision rail. Total cost is now up over $10 billion - and that's just for a 20-mile corridor. Detroit to Chicago??? $200 million? Might as well just throw it in Lake Michigan.
There’s a high probability you’re right. Let me know the Lake Michigan beach where they’ll dump all that cash! I’ll bring a net.
Actually, it would be a far better idea to use the 200 mil to renovate Detroit’s “People Mover.”
