LINXS would design, build and operate the system under a $4.5 billion, 30-year contract.  Commissioners on Thursday approved a preliminary $42 million agreement with LINXS for pre-construction work to keep the project on schedule for completion in 2023.
The 2¼-mile system will carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour and connect to a transportation center and the Metro light-rail system.

TWO BILLION DOLLARS PER MILE!

Oh, and the Metro light rail green line?  Currently carries 32k boardings daily for the entire line

Lenten Friday. Shrimp kabobs. Onions, peppers, shrimp, tomatoes. Skewered and grilled. Maybe a little rice or cauliflower rice.

Looks like the burned out homes in Ventura are selling lots for $500-600k.

LBD said...

What a bargain! Do they come with burnt dirt or fresh organic top soil?

TJandTheBear said...

They come with no guarantees nor insurance against future destruction.

Imagine trying to drop a big azz snout house on one of these and getting fire insurance.

LBD said...

Maybe that's the problem, insurance company pays off but won't insure the new house. Cut a deal, pay off the mortgage, sell the dirt and walk.

Lawyerliz said...

This isn't penance. This is a feast. (For the RICH.)

Lawyerliz said...

Are they selling? Is that burnt dirt toxic ? Serious question.

Lawyerliz said...

Yep. What I should have done. We could and did get insurance, maybe 7 times what the old insurance was.

Lawyerliz said...

I wouldn't insure those. If I did, I'd want every fire preventative there is added to the house. Perhaps steel roofs or Terra cotta barrel tiles, if that works. Stone or concrete block outside walls. Whatever else that works. I don't know, we don't have much in the way of house fires here, though the sawgrass burns.

Lawyerliz said...

Could even the builders or contractors get fire insurance or whatever insurance they are required to have?

Lawyerliz said...

Florida founded an insurance company called citizen's. This worked though everyone hated it

Good Morning!

Great way for more Asians to build their mansions on. Fund their own insurance, Buy a green card, start a development company and Bang permanent green card status in two years. America where money fixes everything!

Lawyerliz said...

Does Trump like Asians?

LBD said...

Our government loves every bodies money. Buy a green card was accelerated in the 90's, EB-5 visa. The concept worked but things have changed and now is very abused. IMO. When the world holds dollars they return them here, the side effects today are way different.

I hear a china company tried to buy the Chicago stock exchange and was stopped by the government. Maybe T influence but I think it was a good move.

Lawyerliz said...

Agreed.

Lawyerliz said...

Hub better but not well, feels like I got what he's got. Very tired.

Anyone watch or read the Mysteries of Phryne Fisher? Prolly not.

LBD said...

If it wasn't in an issue of Hot Rod I probably missed it. :)

New post.

Good morning.
