Too bad it didn't last long.

It became clearer Thursday that the state's high-speed train will run above ground in the Peninsula and South Bay -- including on so-called "Berlin Walls" that some cities fear will divide their communities and demolish homes and businesses.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority, at a packed board meeting in San Francisco, unveiled its most detailed engineering plan yet for the section of the $43 billion rail line that will run along the Caltrain tracks on the way to Southern California.
Some of the cities along the line will receive aboveground tracks, either next to the existing Caltrain tracks or on structures similar to freeway overpasses. These cities include South San Francisco, San Bruno, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City and San Jose.
Other cities on the Peninsula will receive the same treatment unless the state is willing to go about $1 billion more than its budget to build below-ground rails that would reduce the property acquisition and blight some communities fear the tracks will create. Those cities include Burlingame and San Mateo and cities from Atherton to Santa Clara.
The final two cities -- Millbrae and San Francisco -- will receive a combination of above- and below-ground tracks.
There are essentially three types of tracks the train will run on through the Bay Area.

There, fixed it.
Monetization of the subsidies for fixed rail transportation dilutes every asset I possess. That makes you a thief. The concentration of urban development and control over its movements threatens the survival of the entire nation. It also raises prices for real estate, saddling families for generations with needless debt. That makes you a destructive would-be tyrant.
Your fascist wet dreams are more than a continuing irritant, or even a source of entertainment. You waste our time that could be spent developing better ways of communicating alternatives. I want you gone.

Who cares what YOU want???
Your personal bigotry against passenger trains doesn't empower you to have anybody crucified.
18But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?
19"Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius.
20And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"
21They said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."
22And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.
Matthew 22:18-22
Ummm, Willie: you ain’t Jesus.
When did passenger trains become a race?
I reject Marxism. Does that make me a bigot against Marxism?
Willie, playing the race card does not strengthen your argument.
Rail bigot. LOL
I have nothing against passenger trains. I have everything against using government to reach into my pocket with a gun to my head to pay for it, especially after using a pack of lies to do so.
That is theft. You are a thief.
Besides, to equate banning you from a private forum dedicated to conservatives because you wasting everybody's time advocating socialism is not a crucifixion. So we'll add LIAR to the list of your many mortal sins.

That's precisely the kind of ridiculous cult paranoia people should expect from a New Age fraud like you, Mark.
Your fringe scribblings on free market environmentalism don't even rise to the veracity of chemtrails and crop circles.
Away with you, Carry_Okie! Though art cast out to the outer darkness, far from free tax payer subsidized Wi-Fi and over priced dining cars.
I prefer the Free Market... True conservatives support the Free Market...
To call me "New Age" is yet another lie.
There is NOTHING "New Age" about studying Torah in Hebrew and finding a long lost truth. Nothing. You could legitimately call me "retro" but not new. As to its accuracy, the Center for Biblical Hebrew calls it "brilliant". So, given that another lie is not enough, you keep going.
Your fringe scribblings on free market environmentalism don't even rise to the veracity of chemtrails and crop circles.
My fringe scribblings were hand-carried into the White House by Senator Malcolm Wallop. They were endorsed by the (later) President of the American Fisheries Society, Dr. Jennifer Nielsen AND property rights groups. Find me another environmental author with that range of support. Just because the crooks of this world using environmental regulation for fun and profit have no interest in an honest system (not to mention my lack of money and interest in promoting it), doesn't mean that they are not true. I actually prefer laboring in isolation. I get more done that way.
That's what you get for just going to a freeper page Willie. The shallow depth of your research is proof of the lack of depth behind your preference for government control of transportation. You need to do more homework than that to throw a really good insult, thief.
Wille's slipping.
He's used the race card. However, he hasn't yet used the closest thing he has to an intelligible rebuttal. Specifically: "Shut Up, Newbie!"
Reading Willie's attempts at reasoned discourse is reminiscent of watching chimps in the zoo throwing feces. There's no rhyme or reason; but it can be amusing.
No, I just called him out with the demand for a ban (he's been kicked out before).
He's used to derision and laughter, but now that he and his ilk have reached into Californians' pockets for $43 billion for yet another heavily subsidized real estate scam at the expense of farmers and ranchers, considering the fiscal situation in this State, it is no laughing matter.

Willie’s doesn’t care if our nation descends into facist socialism, as long as his masters throw him some table scraps.
Liberals use the race card, not conservatives..
I'm offering 2 to 1 odds that Willie's rebuttal to this statement is that he's posted more threads then you.
It's like saying an elephant is smarter than a dolphin because an elephant excretes more than a dolphin.
Willie thinks he's the smartest animal in the zoo because of his prolific defecation.
Oh Kevin, compared to Willie, you're a newbie!
;-)

Cockamamie to you is a compliment. New ideas are never mainstream, and I am honored by your lack of heed.
I want you banned. You stink.
