These fucking assholes! They actually believe that these rail lines won't affect people's livelihoods by cutting through farmland, and then try to claim that railways that can only be accessed from metros are remotely similar to an interstate that nearly any town can build roads to! The arrogance knows no bounds, and I honestly wish I could tie them to an HSR track at this point.

As stupid as California's HSR plan is, at least there are some cities along the propsed route.

This Texas one is literally Houston to Dallas.

If only there were some sort of vehicle that could go over 200 miles an hour and wouldn't be constrained from just going from Houston to Dallas.

Oh well, we can dream.

Yes, and it would be wonderful if this vehicle required only a place to depart from and arrive at and touched basically nothing else on the ground, almost as if it was going through the air. What a wonderful device that would be!

Really sick of people pretending that autism is a shield that makes it so they never have to grow up or take responsibility for anything.

Being autistic doesn't affect somebody's ability to handle a car save for a tendancy towards somewhat poor coordination so these fuckers have zero excuse.

then try to claim that railways that can only be accessed from metros are remotely similar to an interstate that nearly any town can build roads to

What would be best for public transport is the creation of a low-to-medium speed rail network that services places other than large metropolitan areas, with a main line running through the bigger cities and various branch lines connecting to the smaller towns that don't warrant major investment, but since this doesn't promise anything extraordinary the redditors would probably cope and seethe about it because it's going to use dirty slow diesels rather than high-speed electrics that cost a fortune.

Yes, shitlord, because when an interstate is built through farmland that's bad, but high speed rail being built through the exact same place is... uh... well it actually fucks over the farmers either way, did you think I as an urbanist would actually give a shit about farmers? But trust me, HSR "serves more people", so it's de facto better.

This is how urbanists think. I've never met an urbanist that didn't have double standards like this that switch to other flakey standards when challenged.

These are the people that complain about being "murdered by uncaring carbrains" when they wheel into traffic. I'm actually surprised that there wasn't a massive wave of Fuckcars bikebrains in the comments.

That's Terry Barentsen. He's been doing this for years. He and his friends/community are definitely worthy of their own thread but I don't know enough about them to write an OP.

Comments on that reddit at least seem sensible and anti-cyclist, a lot seemed to want to report him and his friends to the police. Which they obviously very much should be.

This is exactly why everyone hates cyclists. Running red lights at full speed into busy intersections and then bitching about someone getting mad at them. Peak bikebrain.

Kids, watch carefully now: this is your brain on bicycle. Bicycles - not even once.

Where's Terry's doxx?

edit 2.0:
Nevermind, cinematographer Terry Barentsen based in Brooklyn, NY wasn't very hard to find. He uses the same picture as his Youtube profile picture as he does on his contact page of his website. Archive of his contact page on his website, archive of his Youtube channel.

Terry also has an online shop where you can buy these lovely stickers:

Archive of Terry's shop.

So, anyway, Terry's shop's address is:

700 Lorimer Studio B, Brooklyn, NY 11221​

Couldn't find a phone number, because I have things to do today, so if anyone would like to dig up more, that would be great.

Not much to say on this one. I just want to remind everyone that this is what is telling you that you need to get rid of your car and change your cities. People that literally can't even follow a straight line. Jesus fucking Christ.

I remember when we had one of these types show up in the thread. Thye're always too retarded to drive, hold down a job, live on their own, etc. And yet they're smart enough to reshape society.

Strange how that works, isn't it?

 

[Blatant hypocrite]

Yes, and it would be wonderful if this vehicle required only a place to depart from and arrive at and touched basically nothing else on the ground, almost as if it was going through the air. What a wonderful device that would be!

We would need some kind of device to keep it levitated... maybe by turning air resistance into upwards force, allowing it to stay off the ground at absurd speeds with comparatively little energy. Then we would also need some kind of engine that can run in the air, one that's most efficient while travelling at a high speed.

I dunno, sounds a bit too sci-fi to me.

If I put a rest stop on a highway or an offramp to a local town, it may disrupt traffic slightly as people merge between lanes, but otherwise nothing bad will happen. The highway can carry cargo as well as passengers.

If I put a stop on a high-speed rail, get ready for at minimum 8 minutes spent braking and accelerating the train, for everyone on board and not just the people who need it. Giving any kind of benefit to rural landowners would make the train worse.

And this would be an isolated network that wouldn't be running freight so it doesn't have anywhere near the economic potential that a highway would.

I have never heard of a high-speed rail carrying goods.

Have you?

Has anyone else here?

I hypothesize that this might be because goods transport is more about dollars per mile than speed.

high speed freight is a thing but its rare. japan and france are the only places im aware of that do it

I support these people's decisions not to drive only because it keeps them away from the places I frequent that aren't accessible by bus.

If this retard says they're mysteriously able to ride a bike with autism, but are unable to drive a car I'm calling bullshit.

I can see its merits as a way to get bulk goods to locations at a rate faster than over-the-road transportation, but it has the same problem as passenger HSR: you need the rail infrastructure placed and basically cordoned off to prevent people from getting on the tracks, and then it basically relies on specific hubs for loading and unloading, which may not be spread out enough to warrant using high speeds. It's an interesting proposal, but the benefits just don't outweigh the costs.

I'm honestly not sure what fictitious mode of transport he's imagining that doesn't require you to follow straight lines. That knocks just about every vehicle ever made out of the running. Hell, I'd say it probably knocks the use of public transit out of the running, since riding PT in most cities requires the ability to read maps and know where the stops/transfers are. The only mode of transport that fits that description is "being driven everywhere by mommy and daddy".

Freight usually travels in increments of one day. Ship today, arrive tomorrow. So if you put it on a truck in LA today before the end of the business day it can get to SF tomorrow before opening. You wouldn't save much going from a truck at 6 hours to a train at 3 hours.

There's almost certainly not enough freight where that 3 hours matter to make dedicated high speed freight worth it. And as you said with the train you're adding the last mile on each end, plus the train schedule almost certainly won't be optimal. On the other hand I can rent a truck and have it door to door if I need to. And where that time is critical, there's always air freight. And when that time is super critical, there's always air charters.
