We need someone like you to look at the Santa Cruz County RTC’s ZEPRT that puts the cost at $195 million/mile for the existing branch line between Santa Cruz and Pajaro. (22 miles for $4.2 billion) We’ve compared it to Sonoma/Marin’s SMART line & that was an order of magnitude less expensive.

No, I didn’t pick those numbers at random. That is exactly the spread of the vote in 2022 to keep the rail in Santa Cruz County, but at nearly every transportation meeting, Metro meeting, BoS meeting, they go on about how long it’s taking and how expensive it will be. They’re why it’s taking so long

I started to wonder around a decade ago, were my standards lower when I was younger, have his opinions just shifted in the intervening time, were they better hidden, or have I just learned how to recognize the red flags in the intervening time? He’s not the only example, but a notable one.

I'm so eager for passenger rail in Santa Cruz County. The 90-120 minutes that it takes the bus between Santa Cruz and Watsonville will be cut by more than half, and it will be so much more convenient for me to connect to Caltrain and Amtrak.

I'm also frustrated that the Santa Cruz Branch Line has been moved from mid-term to long-term 😔

Redirect all the web links to factual information about the topics. Every page that called the Sandy Hook parents crisis actors should now be made to link to pages with the victims biographies and copies of the police reports.

I really believe that the reason the ruling class is ignoring Covid is bc in the early days something shifted. Ppl pulled together. Ppl indulged their interests while at home. We saw a different life.

They didn't like it and they will kill us first.
