Well, my questions would be, who will pay for it, and how much will it cost to build and operate??
Sounds great, if money were no object, build it. California could build a bullet train, if money were no object.
Speaking of which, Jerry Brown’s bullet train is in trouble, I’ve heard.................
Connecting a huge city with a crowded suburb by some sort of light rail is a fairly logical thing.
Certainly, much more rational than a high speed train into the desert.
BUT - California politicians have become used to massive debt in fiat money to fund their schemes. Does he have any plan to pay for it???
The 405, Coldwater and Laurel are basically slow moving trains most hours of the day anyway. Why do they need another.
Bridge to nowhere, train to nowhere, monorail to nowhere...the Leftists never quit.
At least Disney’s version takes you to the Happiest Place on Earth.
The state should use its money to repair their dilapidated dams.
Another liberal dream. Control our movements, tax everyone, charge riders below cost and have the producers and taxpayers (redundant) make up the difference.
Did I mention how it would control our movement?
They should build it from LA to ChiTown.. sister cities of inept corrupt leaders.
The leftist ultimate goal here is to get rid of private vehicles.
They should get the same bunch of corrupt officials building the monorail from Waipahu to Honolulu. A fiasco if ever there was one.
I wish they could just flatten the Grapevine.
There must be a contest to see who can out-do the spending on “The Big Dig” in Boston
What a great idea, mass transit, I hope he starts it. I have already been lining up Wealthy Donors to put an initiative on the Ballot to Amend the State COnstitution requiring ALL Persons that can be classified as a “Public Employee” to be Guilty of a Felony for using any means of transportation other than Public Transportation to and from their respective workplaces, it will be coupled with a Companion bill to move ALL State Government Offices to Bakersfield. They should be able to make it on the High Speed Train in 30-45 minutes fr4om Sacramento.
LA’s broke and they want their own train to nowhere? (this is the thinking that got LA broke!)

Los Angeles is crawling with bums. Where is all the money going from the last proposition which passed to alleviate that? The situation has even gotten worse since then.
Garcetti lives like a king, no doubt, but is one of those bums. I don’t trust a bum to do anything but steal things.
Light rail systems are not intended to relieve traffic congestion. Light rail systems are built as a means of redistributing crime...
Cost aside, monorails make much more sense than light rail. At least they are up off the ground, so they do not interfere with cars and are not affected by traffic jams.
