Do you really think people will give up their cars. The lower income bracket won’t be allow to afford a ticket. Besides their low paying jobs are local. Who will ride your train?
You also failed to mention the federal government gave the money with the understanding California would build the rails from LA to San Francisco and there is no such plan.
Because of the cost they will only build rails for 171 miles not the 400 miles that California sold to the feds.
Well Mr. 5th largest economy you don’t need federal dollars. Waste your own money. California lost 2.5 percent of its population to domestic migration. When you increase taxes for the train project watch more leave the state. Try collecting revenue from the hugh homeless population or the illegals. Good luck.
Somehow, you forget to mention that this was Ahnold's baby, and he underestimated the cost. Couple that with the fact that he planned on private investment, which is never reliable for infrastructure projects.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
