You say it will be a transportion center.
That just means people will go *through* there on their way, elsewhere.
Much as I support high speed rail (not necessarily a popular view here on Piggington) I seriously doubt that either line will ever be fully funded. Personally, I wouldn’t make a business decision based on high speed rail having 2 lines stop in Palmdale.
I lived in Bellingham, WA which had an international regional airport, Amtrak, the Alaska Ferry, various local ferries, not to mention some awesome mountain bike trails. It was NOT a regional transportation center. I think you’re reading to much into the po-dunk airport and the possible future high speed rail.
I don’t want to rain on the parade… It’s just my personal opinion that this is a potential ripoff… I don’t see Palmdale become more than the next victorville.
