Oh, I knew the feds had cancelled grant money to it, I didn’t know the state killed it. I know they’re all in the pocket of big oil, but it’s just wild to me how trains are apparently woke.
They are woke because they have potential to improve lives regardless of class, race, or gender. Obviously they should have to “earn” those improvements by buying a car instead.
At least in Houston, the transit isn’t horrible if you stay in the inner loop. They gave a few rail lines and the buses run frequently there, so it’s probably fine in theory. But if you have to leave the inner core…
Well, you’ve got to start somewhere. CAHSR has been the impetus for a lot of sprawled out central valley cities to get their shit together. Fresno is probably the prime example of this. We’re trying to drag Merced into getting its shit together, though kicking and screaming it may be.
The main problem with the train would be that once you get to those cities, they are massive, sprawling, and lack good public transit.
So hopefully they improve the transit situation in the cities & surrounding areas as well.
both dallas and houston have somewhat okay rail networks though
The Train got cancelled the other week by Texas govt.
