I don't see how maintaining our infrastructure and developing high speed mass transit are mutually exclusive.
Good evening, KC. :2wave:
I've read that the "high speed mass transit" train system planned for California is not going to be high speed after all, because the contract had to be rewritten due to problems. Top speed won't be much faster than a car would travel. We tried to copy Japan's bullet train, and that could have been a good idea, but it isn't going to work out that way for us. In the meantime, roads, bridges, and water and sewer mains in the rest of the country are crumbling. I think that could be considered mutually exclusive, since California is only one State out of fifty. :shock:
