I'm guessing that by the time they're done, California high-speed rail will still not be completed haha.
lol that's pretty much a given
hyperloop moment
which one, the nircal or socal one, or the socal to vegas one.
norcal to socal one is in limbo due to cost and farmers, socal to vegas one is federally funded (because interstate) and travels through a desert so there would be very little challenges when it comes to land disputes for that train.
did you just profile me and assumed that i had anything against chinas rails? i havent even mentioned china once in my statement (previously a lemmy.ml user who only moved off it due to the non transparency of how anisocial got blocked for "pedo" without evidence)
Sorry, you have to admit that we get a lot of trolls coming in like that. At any rate, that comment was on the edge of trolling or being serious, and I wasn't sure. I assumed the worst. I'll take my response down.
My more honest response is this: EIther one. I still think Cali won't get it done before Vietnam will. It seems like costs always go up for no real reason, and negotiations are always a barrier, regardeless of location. Frankly with the hyperloop derailing HSR in california (Pun intended) so easily, I can see some other reason popping up, even for a realtively "easy" rail build.
