I once made a pit stop in Fresno, Hell has a name. pretty cool military museum though, worth spending an hour in that town for but not one second longer.

Mirello posted:Rofl, I grew up in LA, and just moved back there in September after living in Beijing for 5 years. Had a pretty serious car accident in October (no injuries but my car was pretty trashed). Living in LA without a car makes me want to die. poo poo is bleak. America is so hosed up. Driving in LA makes you want to die too. 30mph everywhere on the "high"way. I was reading up on the CA and UK HSR progress and CA really has the worst infrastructure building in the world. Terrible commute in BAY Area, NIMBYism. HSR that goes nowhere for 100 loving billion dollar. UK is also building their HSR with 100 billion pounds (which is same 100b dollar nowadays), they are able to connect their top 3 cities even though they are cutting the branch short and not connecting their 4th? largest city. Whereas the CA HSR not connecting any of the big cities. I think the DEM has to take responsibility for their basic infrastructure failure.

fart simpson posted:i think your china experience might be outdated. practically every big housing community has mini parks and playgrounds, i was just in one today. and there’s like 3-4 different parks within 500 meters of my place in shenzhen which is pretty normal Its hard to explain this because I am not sure if there are alot of children's playgrounds in the US suburbs. US suburbs has its unique problem of children don't play together. OTOH, not all new Chinese buildings get playgrounds. Yeah I have visited playgrounds inside the large new building complex. However if the developer has only land to build 1 tall apartment building they are not making a children's park. China also has commercial playgrounds in malls to cater to the lack of playgrounds. China's children's slides are nowhere nearly as high and complicated as the US ones because people are deadly afraid of causing injury. Accidents do happen, my kid just cut his nose in a state park recently. So for some reason, the US legal system can handle it.

South Asian goons, who has the worst infrastructure? India or California? Not a snarky question.

I lived in Mumbai and had took the train to school every day just fine. A bus from my home to school used to cost 10 rupees.

The bus system in Delhi is pretty good too. It was one of the things the AAP ran on iirc.

Los Angeles is a huge combobulation that covered a large area. My wife and I went there, stayed in a cheap hotel in the San Gabriel Valley near caltech where the population was like 90% Chinese or Korean and just went to the various Hearst museums and the mountains, had great Chinese food and an awesome time. We had no interest in going anywhere else.

Has Delhis sewage system been expanded? Sewage treatment is one of the few things I'm impressed by in major metropolitan US cities.

From what I have seen on the video, Indian subway systems are new and well managed. No BBC documentary of people fighting to get on the metro.

Yeah but you can also run on other things like improving the infrastructure or making the buses nicer. ughhhh posted:Has Delhis sewage system been expanded? Sewage treatment is one of the few things I'm impressed by in major metropolitan US cities. Last I checked they were working on a new plant. It's supposed to come out at the end of this year. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/jain-indias-biggest-sewage-plant-to-be-ready-by-2022-end/articleshow/86304297.cms

It's incredibly funny that they put the streetcar lines down first in LA and designed the whole city around it and then tore them all up.

Don't forget the Page Museum (La Brea Tar Pits) next door to the latter, and the LACMNH Sometimes I miss LA. Usually when I'm cold or needing an excuse to miss a meeting (sorry boss but SIG alert on the 210 whatareyagonnado?)
