High Speed Screw Up!

Honestly I believe that this entire state is now trying to screw over the Central Valley, and they're doing this by saying that they want to start the high speed rail either in San Francisco or Los Angles, effectively wiping out the last strands of any chance that we had for pumping in money to the Central Valley at all.

 

The one thing that was seriously needed for Fresno and the entire Central Valley was a major construction job that would allow money to start flowing in and start to lift up different businesses here in our neck of the woods. However that's now been cut off and we've just been completely screwed over by the people in charge of the project. They have no idea how much this has hurt us at all.

 

So no we don't happen to have tall building in abundance around here, or happen to have a large section that's wealthy (which is now that I think about it mostly where they're aiming at), but of course the one thing that these people don't realize is that when it comes to the money that is being spent, the wealthy really could care less since they happen to have their own cars, and they don't like to spend any kind of money at all. So if the rail commission thinks that everyone else in those areas is going to be spending any kind of money at all, they're sadly mistaken. However, then again they're not really thinking about those that will actually be able to use the high speed rail at all, after all why would they care when they still use their own cars. It's like here in Fresno, the city council raises the prices of the FAX bus, but they never use it because they all drive their own cars, so they're really in truth helping themselves when it comes to all of the money here in Fresno (after all a 5% pay cut literally isn't anything at all).

 

Personally I still say that we should go for the recall and put people in there that have actually dealt with everything that we're currently going for, however the Rail Commission isn't something that we can do that to at all, so when it comes to that, everyone here in the Central Valley and Fresno is completely screwed over on that.
