For those who don’t know, the California High Speed rail is currently
being built. The California HIgh Speed Rail is a railroad system that travels a
huge amount of miles in a short period of time. They have similar transportation
in China and most people recall the train in China to be called the bullet for its
speed and quickness. The California High Speed travels from San Francisco
to Los Angeles. They say that later they will increase the distance and add
Sacramento and San diego as other destinations.
Although the California High Speed seems like such a good idea, there
are some minor flaws in its making. There has been a lot of controversy over
the cost of the California High Speed Railroad. The total cost may just be too
much. They say it will cost 68.4 billion dollars, and will be completed in 2029.
They’re are also a lot of controversy over how the railroad may affect farming.
The railroad will be running through some farming areas which may affect some
peoples lives and stock.
There may be some disadvantages to making the California High Speed
Railroad but they’re more advantages than disadvantages. The railroad may
cost a lot of money but will also save a lot of money from people having to spend
money on gas to travel to LA. Also thousands and thousands of jobs will be
given to people for many years to come. Not only does the California High Speed
Railroad save money but it is also is eco friendly because it convenient travel
helps prevent pollution from cars and planes that travel to LA.
