[rottndog]

$11 BILLION for that? That’s a crime against humanity.

I’ll note there are no train tracks on this slab of concrete...

[Auntie Dem]

Reminds me of the freeway overpasses in San Jose that went nowhere in the early 70’s. It took years, but they were finally completed, and now are just a part of urban squalor no one pays attention to.

[crusty old prospector]

That is $11 billion? It should be more like $11 million.

[Vaduz]

Maybe it’s a test bridge Biden wants to cross the pacific ocean?.

Alaska be laughing.

California built an even more useless "Bridge to Nowhere".

Even funnier, California already had a "Bridge to Nowhere" built at much less expense in the 1930s.

Either they didn't learn their lesson or they're doing it on purpose.

[Mouton]

11 Billion for THAT. Even Tony Soprono’s crew could have done it for 1% of that including the graft.

Just for reference, the section of the Tohoku Shinkansen in Japan from Omiya to Morioka is roughly 30% shorter than the distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Construction begin in 1975 and was completed and operational a mere seven years later.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

What the hell is that? It goes nowhere. It’s a freakin’ pier

[Jeff Chandler]

That’s a very fast bridge.
