It's supposed to be built on the old train bed that is already there... That's why the 4 billion is such a shocker. They don't even have to get the real estate, just lay down tracks that is a 150 year technology at this point

Is the land owned by the government? I like the park trail idea. Solve the transportation with ferries and drone taxies - then market competition drives prices down. Also localism.
Yeah. I dunno. I guess my urbanism/public transit info is rusty. However, the reason I don't like Ubers or flying taxis or water taxis is the following: you can't change your mind halfway thru the trip. It's easy in a bus to just get off in the middle and go somewhere else.
But flying taxis are supposedly a big frontier.
