The fact there is no train from Austin to Houston is insane. It could easily be one of the most profitable routes in the country, it would be better for the environment, people’s safety and convenience.
@davidhogg111 Texas land is nearly 95% privately owned and I doubt the ranchers are willing to let rails be built through their property.
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 Depends, if they're leases and get continual income from the rails they might.
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 They should start researching eminent domain and round the cows up because we’re building the damn train.
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 Hogg boi doesn’t put too much thought into something’s
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 Except it would end up costing 10 billion to study it and 200 billion to build it
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 Didn’t the Texas Supreme Court already say that eminent domain could be used for this project?
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 What happened to the old railbeds?
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 Wait until you learn how TXDOT takes land from Texans to expand our highways!
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 Texas eminent domain condemnation laws are tougher.
@TJKashin @davidhogg111 I have one weird trick: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_d…
