A lot of this rain will make its’ way into the groundwater...but see, we need a $100+ BILLION high speed rail system that almost no one in the state will use, while there have been no major improvements in water infrastructure in the state for decades....so alas, most of that rain will flow uselessly back out to sea.

The high speed rail project is the perfect storm--local politicians insisting on a multitude of local stops that will turn the high speed train into a slow train combined with environmental activists that turn each local station into a massive time-consuming political battle.

Hopefully Trump will make sure that not one nickel of Federal funds are directly or indirectly subsidizing this beast.
