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.
