    anti rail propaganda here. build a line once and have a railway for ever. I bet James Dean wished he had caught the train

    Railway infrastructure is one of the key features what made the USA what it is today. Sadly it has been miss managed the last decades. But pushing for better railways on state and federal level could boost the economic growth and the quality of personal transportation.

    We didnt waste 100 billion dollars on california highspeed rail. California only spent around 10 billion dollars on the project so far. Also the reason why its overbudget was that the cost estimates for the project were way too low.

    They havent spent $100B yet. Theyve spent $11B out of $38B cash on hand

    They didn't waste it. Saying this is a waste of money is like saying building LAX was a waste of money, a mistake many people make when it comes to infrastructure spending. Being finished it's still a highspeed rail line, not the hyperloop, which is just Elon Musk's way to push individual cars instead of trains, it was never meant to even work.

    MISINFORMATION. High speed rail is on track to change that way we travel in California. Please stop lying and spreading misinformation. 😊

    I would agree that failed is a bad word, since it hasn't even begun service. The only way a poject fails is if it either stops being built (witch is not the case on ca hsr) or doesnt break even after a certain amount of time. This poject has hit nither of those and lots of people still support its construction. Its not a failure. Nore is it a waste. Thats to be decied after its done. Before saying something like this do your research.

    It is the fact that the USA is rubbish at managing projects like these! There are lots of reasons for this.

    Corruption of course. Who owns the land they have to purchase, and how many government employees have interests in the construction companies?

    I think that California has bigger fish fry than building their toy train.
