California’s high speed rail project is going to end up as the world’s most expensive bike trail.
It may be a progressive fantasy, but it has already cost billions of dollars and poured tons of concrete and seized property all over California.
Every day you drive through the Central Valley you see another overpass going up.
It is hideous. It is a total boondoggle. No one will ride it.
But it is happening.
The true Visionaries on California’s High-Speed Rail never expected it to be completed, and never expected it to remotely pay for its build costs and maintenance costs. It was envisioned as a boondoggle project to generate at least six times its construction estimates with all the prerequisite grips levels, and frankly, it appears on track (no pun intended) to achieve that end. It was perfectly obvious that the system would never work, the moment it was conceived.
this is a state that needs 2 years and over $1.5-million to build a single toilet ..........
