>>1266760Listen here you mathematical retard. You cite SFO as an example despite the fact that zero north CA-south CA capacity is being added from the terminal 1 rebuild. Zero runway capacity is being added. All of that for billions of dollars.
CAHSR is 100% net new capacity. It is a system that doesn't exist, so it is all net capacity gain.
To add the equivalent capacity to HSR in the form of highway lanes and net new airport gates and runways would again cost ~$150 billion, which is a state estimate, not mine. Most of that cost would come from new highway lanes. And all of that would just congest airports and roads more for what is only medium-haul traffic. If you're going to add new runways and net new gates, you are far better off using those slots to improve medium-long and long-haul air connections. California has by a wide margin the busiest intrastate air traffic. Meanwhile, adding highway lanes only produces induced demand 95% of the time.
>and there's no sign it won't go higherNice evidence faggot. You don't get to whine like a syphilitic cunt about that and then not back it up yourself.
And you couldn't even represent facts correctly. The estimates are currently $63.2 low, $77.3 base, and $98.1 high.
But don't worry. You just keep being an ignorant piece of shit with no knowledge whatsoever of how transportation systems work.
