grab a shovel, nerds, we're diggin that tunnel https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-to-boston-in-100-minutes-a-high-speed-train-proposal-picks-up-steam
@Ofsevit @bikepedantic Using their logic, why not just tunnel all the way down Long Island Sound to avoid Connecticut landowners altogether? (with maybe a spur to New Haven)
@gang @bikepedantic why not build a 200 mile tunnel from Boston to NYC? With flying pods going 700 mph in it?
@gang @Ofsevit @bikepedantic I hate that nimbyism is so strong that this is still a thing that’s being considered. But also, yeah, fuck it - let’s build some ambitious infrastructure that isn’t for cars for once. Why tf not. Maybe I’d actually visit Long Island.
@bikepedantic this remains the dumbest and most expensive possible way to build this.
