Thanks. I was wondering where the real payoff was for democRATs in the high speed rail scam beyond the contractors building the rails, stations, and trains.
They set the whole thing up with the delta smelt making tons of farmland worthless. The big guys buy, set aside lots of it as "conservation easements" so that nobody else can build, and then squeeze people out of the burbs, for which grizzly bears and wolves will do very nicely, especially in open country such as Napa or Sonoma County.
