Even Willie Green would not have approved of the California High Speed Rail.

It will never be built and the need for it quite simply isn’t there.

Nearly 6 years after voters approved it, plans for financing and constructing it have yet to materialize.

Its time to pull the plug on this extravagant boondoggle.

No argument on the last point, and wish I could be sure it will never be built.

On the other hand, a high speed Interstate Highway from LA to San Fran, would get a lot of use and probably be cheaper to build and operate

The gov should have gone to Nevada and propsed a high speed la to Vegas. The demand is there. See traffic on I-15

One line Burbank to Barstow stop in Palmdale. Another Ontario to Victorville to Barstow. One line with gambling Barstow to Vegas.

Room tax in Vegas to pay and meet any operational shortfall.

No state or federal funds except to approve right of way and environmental impact.
