Isn't that thing way way way way way way way way over budget?

It would probably open up a lot of the Central Valley to development....potentially making housing in California more affordable.
Actually that would potentially increase their demand for water.

Agreed. But this just the kind of infrastructure investment Trump's been trumpeting. And a bullet train from San Dog to Sacramento sounds pretty awesome
Texas Central Bullet Train
Personally, I'll be glad when American Airlines and Southwest Airlines have competition to get to Houston. They, of course, lobby to try and prevent this from going in.

Quick note. This is being funded primarily by state money and investors. They could theoretically proceed without federal support.
There is no state money. Cali is nearly half a trillion dollars in debt.

"Sorely needed in this country". I thought Cali. wanted to leave this country? They could take that $25K a mth they are paying E.Holder to fight the POTUS and put it towards said bullet train costs. Calif. is the most highly political biased state in the country, bar none. Why should POTUS Trump go out of his way to help when they are literally fighting him every step of the way.?

How many F-18's and F-16's could be had for 64 billion?

Didn't Sen. Diane Feinstein’s husband get the contract for the first phase of this project?
Posted on 2/9/17 at 8:05 pm to OchoDedos
To be fair that is the total project cost, Fedgov has only pledged a fraction

Such a stupid idea. No one is going to use that thing.

This is why when people say a wall that cost 15 billion is too expensive, they are being disingenuous. The government pisses money away on less important projects
