They never wanted it. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/california-high-speed-rail-begins-construction

That was funny

Come on man, they didn't even have a route figured out before they started building

The Feds should never have given the money in the first place. There should have been controls in place to make sure it was a viable project. That falls on the Obama administration and the fed beauracracy in general

Well, Gavin didn’t really cancel the project, he just shelved future stuff for now. He was intentionally vague about the future of the project. There are quite a few articles about it, if you are curious. Sorry I just don’t have the time or interest in writing an essay to postulate Gavin Newsom political calculations here. supposedly they are going to finish Merced To Bakersfield, but we will have to wait and see. love your location in your profile btw, made me chuckle.

Good, CA should have to pay that back, sets a bad precedent if they dont

Waitadamminute! Why would Putin puppet Trump be calling for the ouster of a Russian backed strongman?

SoCal has seasons. rains in February and March. overcast in May and June. Santa Ana conditions in September and October. 75 and sunny the rest.

Thank you

Soupslam, I love that you have joined the non sports forum. We have needed some good new posters, preferably from the right, and you have been just what the doctor ordered. However, now you're bombing on my home with oversimplified narratives of the Golden State! I keep my little small sensor Canon Powershot in my car, I cover Bako to Modesto, and Santa Maria to Monterey in my job. I try to take different routes so I can see different parts of the country. For instance I'll take the 198 past the 5 to the 101 to get to Salinas, or I'll take the 46 from the 1 over to the 101. Or, after my kids horseriding lessons got rained out, I took them up to the Lake. Anyway, the links below are some pictures I've taken the past couple months. I grant you the politics are all phucked up, but CA is still the greatest place in the world to live. https://1drv.ms/a/s!Auykgd6B5KHWipw85VtDAd4ZMG5ecg https://1drv.ms/a/s!Auykgd6B5KHWipwrwEsilSM4OTmJYA https://1drv.ms/a/s!Auykgd6B5KHWio0V-Ryvg2GHmwjTaw https://1drv.ms/a/s!Auykgd6B5KHWioUt_48K1iyfowaKxg

We are waiting to see how the FEC rules on the Fusion thing for starters. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/357213-clinton-dnc-connections-to-trump-dossier-funding-could-create-election-law

In all serious, pinkfong makes some great games for kids on the spectrum. They also make a lot of noisy crap

Phuking pinkfong on my youngest daughter's kindle drives me mad. But it will play stuff to get her to sit still even when there is no internet. Yes, I know what you are thinking..... Why don't you just download prime and Netflix shows for her to watch offline.... I do! But she always tries to change the episode to one I haven't downloaded then hands me the device and tells me to fix it as I'm driving down the freeway

That’s how Santa Clarita deals with the homeless. They pick them up and drop them off in Van Nuys.

I don't know man, an awful lot of it is about services. Look at San Francisco, it's cold as hell there. Visalia has by far the best homeless services in Tulare County, it has been shocking to me the increase in homeless people in Visalia now and 20 years ago. Im pretty sure most of that is that it is a magnet because of services. What to do about homelessness is complicated, and deserves its own threat. I think we would be surprised how it doesn't fall on partisan lines like most other issues.
