Arsenic Lupin posted:We are very much not out of the woods. For a steady water supply in Northern California, you need the snowpack to melt slowly and reasonably evenly. If it all melts within (say) a month, everybody getting water from the Sierras is straight back in drought territory. In any case, one good year doesn't end a drought. It's a breathing space. We had a wet winter 2016-2017 that had people declaring the end of drought and then snowpack ran out in the spring, killing vegetation and feeding 2017's fire season

It was the wettest year on record for our state. Snow pack was 190% of average in May and lasted longer than average. It always runs out by the middle of summer. I didn't hear anyone promise there would never be another drought. The Tubbs fire and Thomas fire, for example, were obviously unaffected by snow pack, since it doesn't usually snow in those watersheds. So think critically about what might have caused those fires (hint: the answers are aren't not enough snow or not enough rain)

They have a monorail on the Strip that doesn't go to the airport due to the taxi cab / ride share lobby. I've walked from the Airport to the Strip multiple times out of pure spite

So they're going to terminate it in Rancho Cucamonga, which means basically a gigantic suburb over an hour east of downtown LA. Eventually they're going to connect it in Palmdale to the North/South hsr line. They're not going to connect it directly to LA proper. There is a metro line to RC but it's going to be another hour of rail, or 2 depending on where you live in LA.

i mean, unless they convert an existing rail corridor it seems like there's no way in hell you get close to union station. connecting to an existing line out in the boonies is the only way to avoid the impassable morass of real estate purchasing and legal challenges you'd face trying to bulldoze through the urban sprawl

Yeah, it's expensive, but others have done it. Taiwan's HSR starts with ~9 miles of tunnel under city denser than LA that lets them connect to Taipei Station. Both Taiwan and Japan are very mountainous and their high speed rail projects involved a lot of tunneling. The problem is, and will always be, that America is allergic to non-car infrastructure spending.

Los Angeles doesn't have the density for rail. Consider that no-one would ride Cheyenne Wyoming to Manhattan Kansas, ergo it wouldn't work in SoCal
