1.28 billion for SF to San Jose. Amazing waste of money.

High speed rail or any rail is an effort in stupidity!

They seem to come up with this idea every ten years or so, but it always gets quashed due to environmental issues.
Give it a rest. It will never happen.

if they ask for 4.6 billion, it will probably cost 20 billion and only 5 people on a good day will ride it. Bay Area Mass Transit only transports about 4% of what their capacity is. Spend the money of building dams and reservoirs to get our asses out of the drought the environmentalists state we are in. Or just send more fresh water out to the ocean to help save some POS whale.

What a waste of our tax payers money.
I was in France on business earlier this week and I took the French TGV for the first time. The trip was from Paris to the city Caen in the Normandy region. The ride was so uncomfortable that I almost threw up. When the high speed train makes even the slightest turns at very high speed it will just turn the stomach upside down. In fact if someone stands up during these turns it is highly likely that he will fall.

Imagine whizzing from Anaheim to San Francisco in just two hours and 57 minutes on a high-speed train, to enjoy dim sum in Chinatown. For $40 billion or so, it might just come to pass! That'a pretty expensive dim sum. Like L.A doesn't have dim sum?

It will never get built. Its the White Elephant of high speed rail in America.

Funding from a Federal Government who can’t run Amtrak to the county that had the largest financial implosion of any government in US history! Gee, I feel better already!

Good gawdamighty. California is crumbling, and these people want $40 billion dollars of (other) US taxpayers’ money for a high speed rail network?
And just what on earth will this do to improve anything in California? What value will such a huge undertaking give back to the American taxpayers who fund it?
Pure insanity...

Mass transit tends to attract bums, gangbangers, socialist mayors and hairy, fat men wearing pink tu-tus and Charles Manson tatoos. I’d rather walk, thank you.

Strange times for liberalville to be begging from US, dollars to build rails with trains.
