The hellhole that is California faces a new waste of money. The planned $6 billion budget for a 100 mile HSR in california is now up to $10.6 billion dollars cost.
Is the most expensive High Speed Rail project in human history per mile and also the slowest to ever be built.
The estimated cost of building 119 miles of bullet train track in the Central Valley has jumped to $10.6 billion, an increase of $2.8 billion from the current budget and up from about $6 billion originally.
Why are they spending so much money to transport niggers and mexicans so fast?
Aaron Mitchell
California state government wanted a big "we are amazing" project. Hence biggest infrastructure project in America.
It's now the biggest failure ever with costs growing 3x higher than budget and it's extremely behind schedule.
this is the state that virtue signals how they are the best and how bad trump is but now they have the biggest failure of infrastructure project in human history
Hudson Lopez
I had the opportunity to work on this project as an engineer
The job offer included all kinds of buzzwords about "green energy", "carbon emissions", and "efficiency"....etc. That's all well and good, but usually when you see that it's an indicator that the project is run by agenda-drivel lefties, who are usually quite incompetent.
These projects get a lot of grant money, but they're almost never successful. Whether it's a solar farm project, or tidewater electricity, or a wind farm. Lots of funding, but you can pretty much guarantee it won't be successful.
If they want to get this thing done, they need to fire all the hippie dippie theoretical types with no experience and put in some hard-hatted guys who know what the fuck they're doing
Colton Rivera
#1 in homeless #1 in poverty #1 in inequality #1 in cost to ever begin construction on new housing #1 biggest failure infrastructure project in human history now
Yes, the people in charge of the project have been leaving like crazy. It's a fucking disaster. They can't do shit without 10000 weird environmental lawsuits or complaints that last 3 years
Jose Gutierrez
Here's how this works. >It's a project that never ends and sucks endless money >It requires a "diverse" crew at all costs >Illegals are sucked in and given free training to do the work >Illegals are then put on a pedestal for how great they are and how they built everything >Taxpayers have to pay for the thing, the training of the illegals and then all the illegals pay no taxes and suck even more resources
This is the formula and it has been repeated over and over and over again in every blue state.
Joshua Rogers
Rail foamers on this board wont let us kill a choochoo.
Evan Jackson
the real kiss of death for any project is overly-educated people who know a lot of math and theory, but have never actually cut an iron rod, or measured a wooden beam.
Their ideas are fanciful and spectacular, but not grounded in any sort of reality. They have trouble coming up with a realistic timetable, and cannot push a product through to completion in a timely way.
I love them, and we definitely need them in a certain capacity. But they need to stay away from the management and planning of these projects.
First of all, just the concept that california needs a high speed rail system at this point in time is very poor thinking. Right now it desperately needs water infrastructure, in particular pipes and tunnels from the north of the state to the south. Northern California gets 90% of the rain, southern California has 90% of the population. This is the biggest economic deficiency California has had for years, generations even. And it's gone completely unaddressed.
A train system is great, but it's not a priority at this point. Again, this is the kind of fanciful spending project a silicon valley upstart would dream about, but which isn't in congruence with the realistic needs or priorities of the people
William Morris
tldr
to be finished by 2029 if follows planning is already delayed
most expensive infrastructure project in USA history is already running 2x over budget
Aiden Bell
>to be finished by 2029 holy fuck, this thing is doomed
Andrew Reyes
I SMELL SPAGHETTI.
Nathaniel Gray
>Why are they spending so much money to transport niggers and mexicans so fast? Vote in LA. Hop on the soul train, and vote again in SF before the polls close.
Samuel Rivera
What do you do, user
Charles Ramirez
elon musk called it the dumbest idea ever
not because HSR is dumb but because the cost and time make it obsolete by the time it's done
we will have tesla tunnels before this shit finishes
Lincoln Morgan
We'll have fucking Star Trek transporters by the time this boondoggle is finished.
Ian Richardson
>costs growing 3x higher than budget Typical. The Metro Gold Line light rail in the LA area ended up costing more than double what they said when they sold the idea.
Ryan Reyes
Haha, they wanted to build a high speed rail passenger rail line in my state between Milwaukee and Madison. Our god-tier governor killed it as soon as he took office and then buttfucked our public-sector unions.
Always remember to vote Republican, boys.
Levi Allen
The only HSR that makes sense is LV to LA.
The california HSR is just going to always be shit because California regulations are insane and the state/local governments are inept shit.
Highest funding for local/state gov in CA and they basically just waste all the money in court rooms litigating over regulations
Jacob Thompson
>The only HSR that makes sense is LV to LA. Yes but as soon as they build it the state will move to put some tax on it to drive people to Indian casinos in the state.
John Hernandez
it's a private project but for sure CA will find a way to infect it with HIV
pretty much all CA is good for now
Alexander King
I could argue the need for a HSR between SF and Sacramento. Many sorry fucks like myself work in SF but live further east because we can't afford a $1.5M 2 bedroom house. Have you seen I80 at 6am?
Hudson Brown
I mean sure, CA could use better infrastructure.
Problem is any actual project will be assfucked since inception because it's CA government. Just saving the money makes more sense.
Gavin Taylor
California's version of the Big Dig.
Benjamin Cooper
Thank God. We don't need Milwaukee's niggers in Madison.
Gabriel Reyes
This state will never "save" money; it must be spent somewhere to justify the state.
What they SHOULD do is get a quote from the Japs to build it. Guaranteed to be on schedule and under budget. 200 mph trains running in 2019.
Cooper Lee
>Madison Isn't Madison a really lefty progressive city?
Jason Collins
I was thinking the same thing. We might get a decades use out of it and then it would become poorfag transportation shuttling homeless between northern and southern california.
Jonathan Adams
This is the new Bridge to nowhere meme. Except this is far worse because of how much was spent on it.
Liam Mitchell
yep, makes no sense atm to do projects on time scales like 2029 finish date.
Would help transport more just putting the money into improving existing roads and helping automation of driving
Asher Morris
Not only that but look into the future, we are going to have Driverless cars, cars that can fly(look up the Uber flying Taxi) and also the fact remains California needs better health care, Water storage and preservation than this huge bill of nothing.
Benjamin Morgan
Japan is also an ethnostate with a higher IQ population. You simply can't build something like this and then put spics and niggers on it.
White people will start getting mugged and killed on it and then abandon it altogether. Public transportation fails in the US because no one that can afford a car will get on a bus with a crackhead that just shit himself.
Blake Wood
Unironically a good question
I've read several articles stating this high speed rail is very unpopular in the state and virtually nobody really wants it.
Jason Peterson
Will not*
William Reed
Because it's not needed. They could have rebuilt highways and streets.
William Long
Lol, we'll just take Chicago's instead. Fitchburg's finest!
Yes. Not all of us, though.
Jose Hall
The entire project is a payout to Feinsteins husband, who owns the company getting the contracts. So yeah, it's just taxpayer money going right into the state senators pocket. And it goes between fucking Modesto and Bakersfield, which nobody wants to travel between. And when it's done the 'bullet train' will be slower than driving. Honestly the entire CA legislature should be tried for treason for this shit.
Austin Rodriguez
>Public transportation fails in the US because no one that can afford a car will get on a bus with a crackhead that just shit himself.
this, public transport is a stupid idea in a diverse country. If you kick some shit-himself black off the train you will get a lawsuit
Lucas Bailey
The only place I've ever seen public transit work was in Sweden. It was clean and efficient. I have no idea what it costs them to operate.
Aaron Bailey
Because they want to mimic China's successful bullet train project. However, Chinese leaders and workers are much, much smarter than California ones and they know what they are doing, including leaders who know who to balance the debt that the projects cost.
Evan Clark
Also an formerly an ethnostate. Did you read the articles about the Paris metro operators not stopping at certain areas because of feral nogs?
Public transportation can't exist in a multicultural society because of niggers.
Nolan Hernandez
>when you realize we could cut the time it takes to go from the Bay Area to LA by rail in half by simply doing some track improvements, reworking the schedule, and buying up some of Jew York's former Turboliner fleet to run on it and that this relatively cheap solution has been repeated quashed in favor of this abomination
Letting (((Amtrak))) scrapping the Coast Daylight was a mistake.
Rail foamer here, I want it killed.
Lucas Hall
>Sulfur fire fucked >Mudslide fucked >HIV fucked >Immigrant crime fucked >Economically fucked >Rural support fucked
We'll know the nukes are incoming after the volcanoes, tsunamis, tornadoes, and earthquakes.
Brayden Martinez
>track improvements, reworking the schedule, and buying up some of Jew York's former Turboliner fleet to run on it and that this relatively cheap solution has been repeated quashed in favor of this abomination
Because track improvements do not get money to put in pockets for politicians.
Josiah Perez
SF to LA makes more sense because it used to be the most profitable passenger rail line in the world. Then Amtrak took over and promptly ran it into the ground.
Caleb Jones
RAISE THOSE TAXES
Parker Rogers
Who are all these people commuting between LA and SF? There is a reason the 5 freeway reduces down to two lanes in each direction between these two locations.
Blake Cox
>6 billion dollar rail system scam
Jackson Flores
A high speed rail between LA and San Bernardino would have been more justified. I think it takes the Metrolink train 1.5 to 2 hour to make the trip.
Jaxson Green
$3 million for a monorail in 1993 would actually be a pretty good deal desu
It's overcrowded as fuck.
Joshua Sanchez
because its an insider project that jerry browns construcition buddies will get rich off, and its a political ploy to give affirmative action jobs to illegal mexican workers and other dem voters
Jonathan Roberts
>Because they want to mimic China's successful bullet train project. >successful You mean the ones where they have to travel at 30km/hr on 90% of the track?
Owen Myers
>A slightly faster train from Los Angeles to Sacramento People from LA don’t want to get to anywhere the train goes and that’s saying something.
Reality, the high speed rail is a lie. It’s literally metrolink but they want to close railroad crossing points so they can go 90mph instead of 75mph and the lazy cunt driving the train doesn’t have to honk the horn as often.
cool and in 40 years once the lawsuits to build on other peoples lands are all cleared the things going to cost an extra 50 billion due to legal fees and payouts for the use.
i think they need chinese slaves to get it done quicker. fortunately they have tons of chinese there
Jayden Parker
If you studied American history, Chinese workers were basically the ones who built the original American railways. Chinese workers were much better than mexican or black counterparts.
However in California they don't have Chinese workers anymore, since the Chinese have small businesses now. That's why railways nowadays are fucked.
Grayson Morales

that's pretty obviously what i was getting at sperg. drag them out of their dental hygienist office, give them a pickaxe and some rice. it'll me done in like two weeks max.
those fucks dug through the rocky mountains by hand, if that isn't ant-people i don't know what is.
Isaiah Rodriguez
Fuck. China looks more like the 1st world than burgerstan
Nicholas James
I'm from California, and I still have no idea why my taxes are going to pay for this.
Tyler Howard
The Chinese only built the Western half of it (albeit the more difficult half). The Eastern one was built by Civil War vets who were out of a job.
Jack Gray
Wow calm down hitler. To be honest realistically I would much rather replace all mexicans, middle easterns and blacks immigrants by Chinese immigrants. However (((they))) are against it because they want to prevent Asians and whites mixing together - unstoppable forces with high IQ.
Well you're thinking practically. Trying thinking greedily.
Easton Thomas
great where can the California Progressive politicians price gouge us next to help pay for their incompetence.
Easton Butler
gotta get the cheap labor in fast, and get them out fast when the rich people go to sleep
Benjamin Brown
They think people from the central valley are going to use it to commute to the bay area for jobs. If you are an employer are you going to hire someone from hundreds of miles away who has one expensive option to get to work on time every day, or are you going to hire someone local?
Mason Peterson
Moonbeam >muh legacy
Oliver Gomez
The whole thing is just a plan for siphoning money to already wealthy cronies
