This again :dahell:

Honestly, after 10 yrs its grown on me but NYC will always be GOAT, and not only because I'm from there. But I like Nolibs and Fishtown, reminds me of parts of BK. Don't really venture into other parts as I have no need for them. It's just the people here at times, so ratchet, so hood, so :scusthov: Being at the Made in America festival over the weekend really made me appreciate the city more though. Gald to see more things like this are popping up down here. The city has so much potential to be more than what it currently is.

I've said it before .... if we ever get TRULY HIGH SPEED TRAINS ... the dynamics of what is considered "local" will be changed alot .. right now the Northeast Corridor is sorta there with the Acela train, but compared to other areas in the world (France, Germany, China, Japan)..... the Acela is Hella Slow ......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acela_Express

Traveling at higher than 135 mph (217 km/h) also requires constant-tension catenary, which is only implemented on the more modern catenary system north of New York City. South of New York City the trains are restricted to 135 mph (217 km/h). By comparison, Northeast Regional and the defunct Metroliner service reach 125 mph (201 km/h). Acela trainsets can achieve 165 mph (266 km/h)[3][64] but are restricted to 150 mph (241 km/h) due to track conditions, other traffic, FRA regulations, and other factors.


.....but if you start to increase the mph up to say 200 mph or more, then you can get to NYC or DC in an hour or less, and not pay the rent, essentially at that point, Philly becomes a suburb of NYC and DC and that would make it one of the best cities to be in ... .... plus tons of kinfolk out that way .... :yeshrug:

Breh, the fare on a HSR train would be expensive as hell :pachaha:

A one way ticket on a REGULAR Amtrak train from Philly to NYC is 80 bucks breh, Acela is like a 100 bucks.

Its not gonna be like the commuter rail in these cities where a round trip on a entire route only costs like 30 bucks.

The average middle class person would not be able to ride this HSR on a regular basis.
