High speed? From where to where? Different welfare offices? Work locations? Different shopping malls? Different where publically paid employees can get to their job of disrupting tax paying citizens’ lives?
Anybody with half a brain would oppose this project. Well except the contractors and politicians who will make YUGE money off of it. The tax payers will end up sustaining the thing if it’s ever built. Kinda like the proposed Vegas to LA thing being discussed. That might be able to sustain itself but I doubt it in reality.
Become?
I am pretty sure that it started out that way.
The real railroad companies got out of passenger rail service because they couldn’t make money.
Amtrak has lost money every year since their founding (of course being government funded helps in that regard).
Every commuter rail system in the country could not exist if it was required to make a profit.
Passenger rail is dead.
More water means more libtards moving in and voting for higher taxes, more government, more “free” stuff paid for with borrowed money. Be careful what you wish for. The farmers should get their water back that was given to the Mexican sprawl.
Long distance air travel killed passenger rail travel in America. Why take days to travel somewhere when you can fly and be at your destination in hours? Nothing is going to change this situation.
