If it was worth doing it would have been worth it to a private company or consortium and wouldn’t have needed to be a ballot measure.
The people who voted for it should have to pay for it all and those of us that voted against it should be forever barred from using it. That seems fair.
A French consortium proposed building a direct SF-to-LA line and they were going to pay for it and then hand it over to the state after fifty years. Obviously that would have been profitable so of course the Democrats hated it and instead came up with this jerrymandered idiocy of a route that took a possible 90 minute downtown-to-downtown trip and (in all due honesty) more than doubled it.
