“It’s not a train to nowhere,” Newsom said. “It’s insulting to suggest the Central Valley is nowhere. This is an economic development project, connecting the fastest growing and most dynamic economic regions in the country. That project is achievable and realistic.
“The second phase [boring through the Tehachapi Mountains to Los Angeles] is an open-ended question.”

Hey Gavin how’s your $2.2 billion Transbay Transit Center the northern hub of the California high speed rail system doing? Oh that’s right it’s closed because the structure is caving in on itself. The city that knows how.
Funding has not been obtained for the rail centers.
It took 20 years from funding to opening the bus centers.
One does not to need to refer to an IQ test to see if the person of interest can only do two digits as their high mark.
Simply ask the question: Is this person a CA politician?
Or a Massachusetts one?
Gastaic Nuisance is a local product or by-product, he had humble beginnings but hung with rich folks kids thus his connections..
as to CA or MA origins? many of those who have held power here are Northeasterners while a smaller segment is of midwest origins. California was used as a breeder factory for a lot of carpet-baggers which obviously has impacted the state’s ability to repel even more ‘invaders’.
Go John cox
That’s all
I have to say
Musta been an all-women affirmative action engineering team. Cant be bothered with all those math thingies.......ROTFLOL.
Has Gavin weighed in on the San/Fran luxury high-rise sinking into the ground....with the interior now said to be separating from the facade?
I swear, them liberals really know how to build something long-lasting....ROTFLOL.
He ignores the miles and miles of bus routes involved
At last count there were 12 million families in California. The expected final cost of ghis fiasco to nowhere is $120 billion. That amounts to $10,000 per family. If the public could vote on building a train to nowhere that no one will use or get a check for $10,000 in exchange for the train, I wonder who would win?

But who would pony up the $10,000 per family?
If you put Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, and Kamala Harris together, you wouldn’t have enough brain cells to make up one semi-normal brain, IMO.
LOL......good one.
I think the proposed train could have been a nice prestige project for CA. Unfortunately for it boosters that appears unlikely to happen.
Among the major problems: Like most large government projects the budget has ballooned after it was approved. The claimed environmental benefits were at best oversold, and in many (most?) cases non-existent. Ridership numbers were at best speculative, and likely both made up out of thin air and over optimistic.
The tracks laid and right of way acquired may be used, but likely only if BNSF or UP think they are a useful addition to their system.
The original purpose was to get LA folks to Sacramento and back in one day, to do important meetings quickly.
So I thought, why not employ video teleconferencing, like Skype, or some such ....
After all, the cost of the project could fly jillions of people free from LA to Sacramento and back for a LONG time.
But then I realized that the people doing the meetings really need a face-to-face, not streamed or recorded or documented.
How else will you transfer a brief case of cash ... ???
It is even simpler than that to sort out the bottom half of the IQ distribution curve.
Democrat? Automatic stupidity. Spay them. A eugenic solution they should appreciate. Half a century and socialism will vanish, like the Black Plague. There will be occasional birth defects showing socialist tendencies, but perhaps a vaccine can be developed.
Garden Slug. maybe.
