The whole rail line thing (high-speed or slow as snails) was only intended to spread urban crime and homelessness to the suburban and rural areas...

This has been the principle goal, and totally successful result, of every subway, streetcar, or other type of rapid transit plan over the past 60 years!

No; they use cars, actually. Usually stolen, too.

Funny you should mention this. My son lives in Santa Monica, about a mile or maybe a little more from the famous pier.

A few years ago they built a train to bring people to the pier - good for tourism, don’t you know.

Turns out, UNEXPECTEDLY, it was also good for crime, which has gone up a lot in that area as crooks now have an easy way to get to all those tourists and then disappear again.

That’s always the case!
Works that way in Northern Virginia too!
The DC Metro brings crime out to Reston & soon Dulles!
