Right. HSR isn’t cheap. I took it in Europe and there were way cheaper ways of getting around. For one, it makes sense cost wise, but once you start adding people, the prices are out of control.

Excellent. I hope this creeps to other provinces.

With a family of 2 fuck that. My wife and I just drive between LA and bay area. Less than 5-6 hours and no shitty airport issues.

When that train is available I’m the first one to disney land.

I think you are way to short sighted on this.

Itd been proven that local access to transit systems pushes populations to other areas.

Like in California (where its too many people in the main bay area and LA). The incentive is to have other larger towns and cities across the I-5 absorb more of the population.

Which is happening, when Caltrain was established people started to move further south of San Jose. When bart finished their line further into the suburbs the home values for Brentwood went up as people bought homes knowing they have transit systems.

If the high speed rail completes people will move further out for cheaper homes.

Folks keep thinking trains don’t alter populations are not seeing the bigger picture.

Totally. People don’t seem to understand that France is the size of Texas with several more major cities they can connect.

SF to LA already has a train and 90% of it goes through rural areas. Many people are saying “if it was fast, I’d go,” but that means they don’t have reason enough to go LA to SF unless it’s convenient, which means HSR won’t have a ton of ridership.

8 hour nap or what?

We already have many ways to get anywhere in the state. Amtrak exists, also many commuter trains. Planes, ferries, subways, busses. People still prefer to drive because it’s cheaper if you’re a family and more convenient.

Projects like this take decades.

I call bullshit on this ignorant comment.

The big dig was first designed in 1982, it was completed in 2007.

Y’all need perspective.

This is the epitome of it.

Thanks, someone got it

I had a similar experience. Daughter had played dress-up, and then played hide and seek after that. Police searched the house multiple times, the entire apartment complex was searching and video footage was being pulled to see what cars had come in and out of the complex.

They brought in whatever detective was in charge of child kidnappings, who found her on his second search through the house. She'd fallen asleep in the dress-up clothes bin.

I'm gonna give the zelensky reply for this one

"This is great, but we need more"

Cool, so what did your comment echoing the same shit as everyone else change? Nothing? I bet that 250k changed a lot for him though.

Oh nice, so we can start hunting them again. Phew I was worried for a minute.

Hey, that about sums it up.

My son did this! I was completely panicking but thankfully found him before I had to call the police lol

small human survives unmonitored in shallow woods near human activity for one day. shocker!

rescuer infers something divine guided him to small human by successfully guiding a 50/50 choice. funny!

Not even clickbait, the writing reminds me of like the formulaic narrative style writing you’d learn in elementary school. It’s just really corny. Hard to explain.

Where's a chicanery tent when you need one.

INB4 “Ew icky icky spiders, they should all fuck off and be killed with fire”

That’s 29 species

Oh god your poor mom!

Thank you for answering my question. I can see where your reasoning makes sense when you believe what you do for why government exists. I wish you were correct, the United States would be a better place if it actually was formed to provide for the general welfare of its people.

Yes, but that whole section is only drawing the two ovals of the owl.

Getting out of the two ends of the Central Valley is going to be an expensive and technologically-challenging son of a bitch.
