We used to have an amazing rail system
There used to literally be curbside rail service to the pier where I grew up.
Now we can't even get something through a planning process in 10 years.
Right to the boardwalk in Santa Cruz? What happened to that train?
Not profitable. So basically capitalism.
Also yes I grew up in SC, I know a professor that used to teach classes with angela davis and he has Huey Newton's record collection and weight set.
Apparently Huey was a real big fan of pop music lol.
Ah, no surprise there I guess.
lol I graduated from the UC, heard Huey attended didnβt know he liked pop music. I met a professor who was a former Black Panther member, ran a class that helped humanize people without housing. Idk if weβre talking about the same dude but Franklin Williams is his name.
Old white guy? Might be him.
Nah, thatβs a different professor
Santa Cruz NIMBYs are right up there with Marin NIMBYs
Everyone there loves to pretend it's so progressive and shit too.
Last year some kids literally had a birthday party for Hitler with a swasticake
Our trains outside of AMBA and MardelPlata run at an average speed of 30 km/h
99% of grains get to ports and mills only via trucks
Container-carrying trains are inexistent basically
That's technically a light rail but with a big loco
