    I'm confused: your first line describes Cali's project as taking 32
    years (so far) and building 390 miles. In the last paragraph, you say
    not one inch of track has been built. I'm guessing that 390 miles is
    what they've *targeted* to build but that they haven't actually built
    any of that yet.

    That quibble aside, that's a great way to present how wasteful this
    project has been. It's incredible that the taxpayers haven't shown up at
    the legislature with pitchforks and torches, ready to hang their
    legislators after all this expenditure with so little to show for it.

    So is it lack of funds or lack of organization?

    By the way, I am outraged that the Canadian federal government wants
    to put public funds into high speed rail since there is no way in hell
    they will ever build that within 500 miles of me while they'll be
    grabbing taxes from me long after it's built.

    Besides - the whole thing sounds to me like a massive Federal subsidy
    for GO Transit.

    I definitely hope you're wrong on that - got a link which illustrates
    your statement?
