As long as Dianne Fineswine can direct contracts to her hubby she will do everything in her power to fund it.

Morales added that the rail line would replace 2500 highway lane miles. This is, one suspects, beyond a mere lie.
I have yet to meet one human in the Once-Golden-State who actually plans to ride on the train.
(Which assumes that it will ever be up and running, which I highly doubt.)

Build Now, Hope for Money Later I laid a row of bricks in my back yard. I'm hoping other bricks will show up and make a house some day. Lib logic is so dumb. That bullet train will not be built between SF and LA, at least for another 75 years. Meantime, we really need that money for other critical needs, money that is being poured down a useless hole right now (useless for 95 percent of the people).

There are some places in the world where high-speed trains might make sense and find a real market. Between some city pairs in Europe and maybe along the U.S. eastern seaboard.
Between sprawling, no-center LA and anywhere, however, is a loser.
This is just euro-envy techporn for liberal hipsters.

A privately funded track from the south SF Bay Area to Lake Tahoe is something that I would support, and even invest in. They could run it parallel to the commercial freight line, keeping each track dedicated to a purpose. This would be great for both winter skiers and summer vacationers.
But publicly funded boondoggles? Hell no!
To: george76
A BIG problem with this boondoggle is that they want it to come up into the Antelope Valley from the Bakersfield side and then go down into the LA Basin via the CA14 corridor...mountainous terrain up, mountainous terrain down.
We already have a commuter train from the AV into the LA area, like this is gonna be different somehow?
Pure IDIOCY!
