Thesis: The marketing and promises does not match up to the reality.
I think the pro-HSR side would be better served by accepting legitimate criticism and refuting errors factually, rather than spoiled, snarky dismissiveness.Yes, I remember when this God awful report aired. Lets encourage people to walk on railroad tracks, because no passenger trains are scheduled until the evening and there is no such thing as unscheduled runs!
I see this is a follow up. Still seems like a whole bunch of unnecessary hullabaloo.
Florida:
Rejected- $2 bn HSR project from Tampa to Orlando. 90 miles.
Approved- $2 bn road expansion project in Orlando. 24 miles.
Why doesn't CNN report on that?
I can see where clearing tangles in a rail line to facilitate improved coordination between passenger and freight trains, renovating or double-tracking specific sections of track and adding additional train service are all good and defensible uses of federal transportation money.The HSR hypoe was unfortunate, and the chicken are now coming home to roost. Much as I dislike it, but this was inevitable as the night follows the day.
That a total joke that purposed HSR was turning out to be. Should have been called HC-LSR (high cost-low speed rail). Glad some sane people cancelled it before too much tax payer money was wasted on it.Florida:Rejected- $2 bn HSR project from Tampa to Orlando. 90 miles.
What I like about your position is that you express equal concern about wasting taxes on rail and roads.That a total joke that purposed HSR was turning out to be.
