“And what will they do with those abandoned parts?”

I’m sure, if the price is right, Elon Musk will figure out how to adapt the equipment for his underground vacuum tube car transport in LA. He needs lots of wire, concrete, rebar and rails. I expect that he could get quite a deal.

Did Steamboat Willie EVER understand that passenger rail won’t work without government subsidies?

"An interstate highway along the border would be nice"

Dammit, you aren't supposed to notice how various urban interstate viaducts channel and wall off some undesirable neighborhoods.

Example: The St Pete, FL system quartered the peninsula, and walled off the black area of town, with only four easily barricaded exits, and a wide open kill zone across the top.

In fact, most by-passes will make it convenient to lay siege and starve out Socialist cities. I-295, around Chicago, is particularly sweet.

Only thing that makes sense to me is maybe it’s to bring in cheap labor from the valley to the future amazon distribution center in Bakersfield.

If it were ever possible for Brown to run again with the promise to get this Bullet Train finished, the idiots would vote him back into office.

Anybody who sends dick pics isn’t that smart!

Yep, this state is toast.

I’m hating it here more and more each day.

Planning to retire elsewhere.

I will also be retiring OUT of this state, haven’t decided where yet, the weather here is hard to beat!! Need to find a place where I don’t have to worry about shoveling out of snow every year!!! Washington, and Oregon are out of the question due to all of the CA. transplants, Nevada is also changing very quickly AZ. is where I thought of going BUT they are also quickly becoming CA.

I had the same reasoning as you did.

We’re looking at Idaho.

Wyoming might work.

Yeah, I know.

:(

IMO, that’s code for mexican.

Probably the only reason my brother can find work is that he can pass for mexican.

Boston-Washington is the only place in the country this could work - but to straighten the line from Bridgeport to Hell Gate would take land from some of the richest and most powerful people in the world.

Will never happen.

Idaho is my number 1 pick right now also, I think southern Idaho might not have brutal winters as much as Northern Idaho would!!! I can’t wait to get the hell out of this state such a shame, it is far to expensive however the weather is something NOT found anywhere else in the country!! No humidity AND no brutal winters other than that the state SUCKS!!!

It is getting extremely expensive here.

Houses in the ghetto going for half a mil!

Brutal winters will be worth it to get out of here!

My daughter and I went to Idaho last summer to look around and visit a college she was interested in.

We thought Idaho was just gorgeous.

From Nampa to Canada and back was breathtakingly beautiful!

No. The California voters voted for this. They wanted this train.
