Rail is a 20th century solution. But lots of crony capitalists will make billions of of this boondoggle. My guess is that this rail project will NEVER be completed.
--------------
The California bullet train project took a sharp jump in price Friday when the state rail authority announced the cost of connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco would total $77.3 billion, an increase of $13 billion from estimates two years ago, and could potentially rise as high as $98.1 billion.
The rail authority also said that the earliest trains could operate on a partial system between San Jose and the farming town of Wasco would be 2029, five years later than the previous projection. The disclosures are contained in a 114-page business plan that was issued in draft form by the rail authority and will be finalized this summer in a submission to the Legislature.
Cost for California bullet train system rises to $77.3 billion
. Proving that with government work you can have it neither cheap nor fast, the earliest any major part of the system might be fully operational is now 2029, not 2024, with the major San Francisco to Anaheim line not on target til 2033.

I thought they were going to spend all of their money on reparations and illegals? Something has got to give-
they either get outrageously overpriced, useless "public services" or tremendous financial give aways to people who do not deserve them. You can't have both.
