Right? I know nothing of Vegas and only slightly more about urban planning, but it's a sure bet that Russ intuitively picked the worst possible routes. He has no idea what he's doing, as always, but he's too arrogant to consult actual urban planners, or even understand the current transit system, or the policies around cabs, or the zoning, or actual construction costs and timelines...This all just exceptional.
I'm not sure his Connecting Nevada registration is valid even. For a Safer Nevada he paid ~$30 to an enterprising random to have a Registered Agent address for his PAC because it requires a physical address that is not a PO Box or an apartment. This time he is using his PO Box for the registration right on a line that says registered agent physical address.
His idea isn't a new one and if it was a good one it would have happened by now. The monorail has been a money pit failure with low ridership from day one. Extending it to the airport and downtown might happen and help but it will take money and time and a fight against the cab union (hotels on the strip can't offer a hotel shuttle to the airport like in other cities, it's private shuttles that go to all hotels or limos).
Elon Musk and his boring tunnel project has good potential for better mass transit for tourists.
His routes are exceptional. Lots of lower income and odd areas all already served by bus routes of varying quality. Or tourist stops already served by busses and monorail/trams and ride share.
His budget $800,000,000 oh my gosh. Gourdhead in charge of something that big.
I don't know if success is his endgame or if this is a farce to make him look like a poor innocent target for bullies. Both pacs show up together on the government website.
Just exceptional all around.
But we all know this.
Russ will always fail at his plans, even if the core is something that's reasonable on first glance and not overly grandiose, because he's Russ. It's not just that people have moral objections to whores, Russ, and it's not just because you have a paralyzed face. It's because your ideas are dumb and unworkable and you refuse to share the spotlight with people (or bandmates) who know what they're doing.
If he really wanted this to happen, he'd at least consult professionals. But beyond that, there's more than likely already groups who are trying to promote similar public transit ideas -- maybe not the monorail, exactly, but there are almost certainly community groups he could join and support. But no. It's Russ the CEO, all his visionary plans. He doesn't have to start at the bottom as a volunteer, he can just make a PAC and design the rail system himself!
It's retarded and I love it.
