It was a hair-brained idea from day one.

Who didn’t see this coming.

They thought they could blackmail us by putting it out there in in nowhereville, and we’d bail them out.

LOL

Not with my vote.

[Flycatcher]

The solution is obvious:

Make it a MONORAIL!!

[VideoDoctor]

Nearly anything California undertakes ends up in trouble and having a plethora of problems.

When LIBERALS are in control that is the constant and continual outcome.

Where's Willie Green when you need him?

[faithhopecharity]

Air travel time - one hour. Hundreds of flights between several choices of airports, cities.

[PAR35]

Burbank location? John Ferraro Athletic fields between the I-5/134 interchange and the Los Angles River. Run the tracks along the existing expressway, then bore through the mountains into the desert.

They can contact me directly to arrange the wire of the $800,000.

Major problem, this track is very near to all Sierra Club bosses houses. There are number of $50-$100 million houses just near the track. We are talking about most expensive zip codes. Property value will drop. Speed train will cause shaking of hills, hills are not very stable around that area. Construction will just destroy elite life style. Lot of Heritage houses etc. Eminent Domain may give heart and dollar burn here.

[Charles Martel]

Willie Green haz a sad.

[rktman]

Speeding towards an abrupt dead end?

[lewislynn]

Where are those 118 true "conservative" California Republican Cruz stooges on this?

Trying to figure out how they can line their pockets too, if they haven't already?

[sparklite2]

"We've got to protect our phony-baloney jobs, gentlemen."

"Then lets sink so much into construction that the job
becomes too big to walk away from."

"Yes, Headley, I think you've got it!"

"It's Hadley, sir."

"Whatever.  Can I get a hmmm-ah?"

"Hmmm-ah."

"I didn't get a hmmm-ah from that guy over there!"

"HMMM-Ah!"

"That's better.  Hello, boys."

[Joe Boucher]

Whata colossal waste.

[mad_as_he$$]

The Southern Pacific engineers in 1874 knew what they were doing when they constructed the Tehachapi Loop. These guys must be listening to Willie Green.

[goldstategop]

The Choo-Choo Express to nowhere.

[Carry_Okie]

California's plans for a high-speed rail system are coming undone as indecision real estate speculators squabbling over routes undermines progress, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Fixed.

[minnesota_bound]

The project is no where near $68 billion. It was estimated years ago to cost north of $100 billion. Example of why this is being built and the water crisis in the central valley.
