So-called high speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco will never be high speed. If you make half a dozen stops in between, the average speed will drop down to approximately highway speed. If you don’t make the stops, what is the point? Who is going to ride it?
How much tax money will be spent above and beyond the construction cost to operate and maintain the system every year?
