By diehard Go To PostJust NY <-> LA would be a longer distance than all lines in all but a few countries.From personal experience, Baton Rouge <-> NOLA would be incredible.
I'm not saying it wouldn't work, it just isn't the perfect scenario.
DFW <-> other side of DFW would also be amazing.
By diehard Go To PostJust NY <-> LA would be a longer distance than all lines in all but a few countries.Must have never driven on I5 through Central Valley from Bay Area to SoCal. Would be so much better on HSR.

By diehard Go To PostJust NY <-> LA would be a longer distance than all lines in all but a few countries.NYC to LA wouldn’t be a line in any scenario, that is a plane trip. HSR would go up and down the pacific coast and Atlantic coasts.

By diehard Go To PostJust NY <-> LA would be a longer distance than all lines in all but a few countries.US is basically continent sized, but there should be a fast rail network connecting east coast hubs to each other and ditto for the west coast too.

LA to NY, yeah, take a plane.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostNYC to LA wouldn’t be a line in any scenarioIt's actually in the "US High Speed Rail Commission" plans (that will never happen).

the Knicks will 10peat before there is ever any sort of decent rail system in the US so this discussion is pointless.
enjoy your expensive depreciating asset because we won't be getting anything different

By diehard Go To PostIt's actually in the "US High Speed Rail Commission" plans (that will never happen).That's multiple trains and routes. I don't think that's what anyone is talking about and isn't very realistic.

Sacramento to LA or LA to Las Vegas makes all of the sense in the world.
By reilo Go To PostDo you mean connecting two dense populations? Because that's how it's everywhere else in the world.Yes lol … high speed rail requires non dense areas without stops to get to speed
By Mister Go To Postinshallah it's not an issue, let's just board them😂 I laughed too hard at this
By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostHigh speed rails would work well across the western part of the country.Less pollution too.
We talking about some ideal world or the real world where the California high speed rail nightmare exists?
By diehard Go To PostWe talking about some ideal world or the real world where the California high speed rail nightmare exists?This is very much an American problem. It's a matter of will not feasibility. Much more complex HSRs sections have been built all over the world through far more complex geography than what California is trying to accomplish.
If you think a majority of the Central Valley is more complex than this...
At 57.5km it will take the title of world’s longest single rail tunnel when finished, barely beating Brenner and the Gotthard Base Tunnel, which completed in 2016.
Built for passengers and freight it’ll stretch for over 270km in total, with 70% of the line in France, and the other 30% in Italy.

Go look at what China has built in the same time as California. It’s a nightmare because building in the US is a nightmare.
The US could build as easily but we just never had anyone in charge that will do what need to be done to save our infrastructure system

Don’t even need to compare to China where the government owns all land and private property doesn’t exist, compare it to any European or Asian country with comparable living standards.
By blackace Go To PostIs that the same China where buildings collapse yearly or a different one?the one with days deep traffic jams or the flooded deathtrap tunnel systems maybe
By Perfect Blue Go To PostDon’t even need to compare to China where the government owns all land and private property doesn’t exist, compare it to any European or Asian country with comparable living standards.i lost all faith in american public transit when hawaii couldn't even lay down a loop with korea and japan jumping at the chance to help
they just call that mess the large intestine lol
My sister is visiting Ireland and an hour into visiting Dublin, a man snuck into her bag and stole her purse. She ended up chasing him down and demanding it back, which he did.

Our bridges collapsed all the time
I have to drive 35 mins out of my way because a road split in two months ago and no one can decide who is responsible for the repairs
night and day fr man. our shit was built solid but neglected for generations - which is a real problem don't get me wrong. their shit be bursting into flames less than a year after going up
then they be like only one person was injured pls do not be alarmed

This isn’t true. They usually report the deaths, arrested the developers, and the safety commission officers after investigations. The last building that collapsed caused them to set stricter rules against the private sector (yes there is a private sector for development). The collapse from 2022 was an old building from 30 years ago and the building owner was arrested for illegally building on to the building.
This page just reminds me people don’t actually understand’s the way China builds, their economy, or their property laws in general.
By diehard Go To Posti just kinda tune out after look at what China did is used in a positive light tbh
Look dude we know you rock a red maga hat to bed but you don’t have to get get racist and sinophobic to prove
'the' collapse
which do you think I'm referring to? if we filter bridges just by those who've reportedly killed only a few and not even the ones that they've been contracted for outside of mainland then it's still a non starter.
and whatever public/private separation you're trying to highlight is about as deep as the gap between american church and state lol
sinophobic now looool okay yeah that's about as thorough as I expected

Btw nice way to reflect that they built the biggest HSR system in the world in almost the same time we built a track from from Fresno to 100 miles outside of fresno
2022 is the most recent building to collapse. But shit, they a power station collapse in 2016, a restaurant collapse in 2020, two hotels in 2020 and 2021.
ijs 🤷🏾♂️

cut and paste country to country solutions shouldn't be a thing anywhere outside of undergrad
*why* was it built and with what national momentums since we're doing this
if we're going to bring mighty Fresno into this let's do it right

China, Japan, and South Korea are almost built the same way. Given some variances in the contracting. I’m more keen to South Korea they’ve really focused on structural issues since Sampoong.

They wish they had land like China or SK.

I’m talking about the way they use capitalist funds to build there. Also if we get technical I believe Japan is bigger than South Korea
And I started by talking about contracting regarding Hawaii fucking up layups with Korean and Japanese involvement.
The issue is that HSR in the US is perceived as a public convenience first and foremost whereas in China it is literally a national necessity if their country intends to follow through on their push forward globally without yet another institutional upheaval.
The minute anyone starts this dusty rant or anything similar they always seem to forget how young that government is and how urgently they must manage their current traction. Some states' or local push for general public accessibility under the myriad of conditions that it must never step on toes and also be profitable will never compare to that. Fresno or Fresnot.
They threw the towel on the bridges and highways.

I don’t tryst anything built in Korea.
Seen too many builders buying and drinking soju and makgeolli at 9am on a worksite.
