    Why public transportation has never been prioritized in the US is beyond me

    Well not really beyond me because clearly it’s created an unnecessary industry in automobile ownership, customization and maintenance but I just disapprove

    People are really into the car cult here. To the point where people will say it’s “unamerican” to not own a car

    California’s $100 Billion Nightmare High-Speed Rail Project
    https://www.cagw.org/thewastewatcher/californias-100-billion-nightmare-high-speed-rail-project

    After 12 years of delays, mismanagement, and political gridlock, the total cost estimate for the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) has reached $100 billion. Initially budgeted at $35 billion, former California Gov. Jerry Brown’s dream of uniting California’s coastal metropolises and parts of the Central Valley has transformed into a disjointed, mismanaged fiscal nightmare with rising costs every single year following its inception. The $100 billion cost is 23 percent greater than the highest estimated cost of $81.4 billion that Citizens Against Government Waste projected in an extensive September 2008 joint report with the Reason Foundation and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Foundation.

    S***show continues. It's gonna take another 10 years to build it . Meanwhile Chinese Communist Party doesn't give a f***, they go out and start bulding f*** the dumb s*** lol

    That high speed rail was promising when it was barely brought up. There was talk of it being built in the middle of my old city.
    Then talk stopped and like four years later they cancel it
    Then someone brought up the idea of making the fast lane an “autobahn” lane across California
    Not with these s*** city highways. You go 110 in LA and pop two tires and pull a Paul walker

    I don't see why you brought up the defense budget. This is literally the fault of some Americans being d***heads/NIMBYs/wanting to drive everywhere and the MTA... well that s*** is poorly managed and bleeds money.

    Also America having some weirdo freight train system.

    Not saying the defense budget shouldn't be reallocated but don't really see how its relevant.

    America will do everything it can to keep the oil companies happy

    America could have built the greatest public transport system in the world, but chose not to bc then no one would buy cars and pay for gasoline

    China has spent the last decade heavily investing in infrastructure both within China & Internationally it is a very good strategy for them tbh

    The best example is the new Beijing airport
