Is this a meme? I'm all in favor of new passenger rail, but as it stands California has always been willing to pay to subsidize these things out the nose rather than keep costs low and negotiate with people. There's a reason Brightline in Florida can do high speed rail for a couple billion, while CAHSR appears to be lining the pockets of Senator Feinstein's husband to the tune of literally BILLIONS. Billions in bonds, I might add, so more debt. What a joke. Who knows, maybe the major metropolises of Bakersfield and Fresno will manage to make this shit-show turn a profit once it's already built.
