Does California really need more obese middle-American sheep? What’s the point of high-speed rail to Vegas from CA? Vegas doesn’t offer much that CA doesn’t. I bet Vegas will be dead in 20 years.
Millions of tourists in the Asia Pacific region. LA, SF, LV and to a lesser extent SD could be great tourist destinations linked by rail. We could sell a california rail pass.
We should be more travel and tourism focused like Dubai and Singapore, London too which will soon surpass Paris as the most visited city in the world.
Merge technology with entertainment. Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Las Vegas, the beach and the california lifestyle. A lot to sell to the world.
Spd, the wow factor started with NYC more than 100 years ago. NY built to impress back then. Not different than anything being done today.
