[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 853046, member: 1246"] You see where the red line is on that map? There are actually lots of people living all along the line. In the proposed CA. route, there are people at the beginning and people at the end with lots of farms, cows, etc. in between. " [B]"Dubious projections.[/B] The bullet train's prospects for turning big profits are founded on ridership forecasts that are deeply flawed, two studies say. Rather than making billions in profits, high-speed rail might actually “incur significant revenue shortfalls,” a UC Berkeley study indicated." They say, "The sooner we build it, the less expensive it will be." That doesn't mean it even should be built. Just hurry up is never a good idea....that's how we got Obamacare. "The Central Valley segment isn't a paying route, ..." Even the project people don't see ridership!! It's just totally different here than the East Coast. Building a bullet train where there aren't enough people is just stupid. The first projected leg is in like Bakersfield......... [/QUOTE]
