If you've ever ridden an Amtrak, you'll understand why the costs to replicate a Bullet train network are so high. From buying the land, hiring the engineers to figure out how to properly lay the rails to handle that type of speed, to actually building it from scratch. 171 miles for $33 Billion? But hey, it's not their money, so why should they give a fuck about the costs? Let the homeowners pay the tab. And what about them? Shouldn't they also be responsible for allowing this boondoggle to advance in the first place? Current costs are over $130 Billion with no end in sight. Just look at the cost of gas in CA, a State with 12 active oil refineries. It had 23, but due to silly laws, it was quickly reduced. Only 8 of those are dedicated to Gasoline. The Valero Benicia refinery is closing this month. For a State that produces 1.5 million barrels of gas daily, this makes no sense.
I love MAGA thins this is some kind of win...

Feet of tracks laid for Newsom's money laundering "Light rail" scam? ZERO !!!
The Somali scammers in Minnesota that were uncovered by a citizen journalist are pikers compared to the grift under Newsom.
