All abooard the bullet trains to bankruptcy. She is so right.

California is in the process of polarizing into rich and poor populations.

The former will fly everywhere, the later will stay put. Would be train riders have moved to Texas-Arizona-Colorado.

1. Cuz the money has already been spent giving freebies to illegals.
2. Cuz it won’t generate enough revenue to sustain itself.
3. Cuz you don’t spend money on luxuries when you can’t afford to put food on the table!

“require spending money that could otherwise fund education and health care.”

So it’s ok to spend money you don’t have as long a it’s “for da children”?

Building the California high-speed rail system won't be a free ride. It will require spending money that could otherwise fund education and health care....... and continued support for illegals.

[count-your-change]

California needs a high speed train to carry the unemployed from obscurity to oblivion.

Never underestimate the vanity of politicians or the stupidity of the voters.

If they just build the rail to nowhere, look at it this way: it will be still be a tourist attraction and a monument to political extravagance.

There’s a reason that I left California decades ago, and there is a reason that I NEVER REGRETTED IT. And articles like this one only serve to remind me...

America is a CAR society....what idiot wants to take a cab from a rail station?????

kalifornia can’t afford a thumb tack, they’re stinking broke.

Interest rates on California bonds shold be increased to at least 10 percent. California is insolvent. The only cure for irresponsible spending is punishing interest rates and perhaps a suspension of borrowing. Just say no to California junk bonds.

You seem to forget that Moonbeam is in charge now. They can afford two or three bullet trains. Just tax the rich some more.

Look there are places in the U.S. where high speed rail would work:

1)The Boston-NY-DC Corridor

2)Dallas-Houston-San Antonio

3) Chicago-Mid West

4) Intra state Florida

The problem is the terrain has to be flat. That's why Vegas/LA is a non starter. The climb/descent into the LA basin is a killer.

Same thing for LA-North. Got to get out of the LA basin. But LA-San Diego would work and makes sense.
