California’s High-Speed Rail project was originally estimated to cost $33 Billion.
They’ve spent $9.8 Billion, no track has been laid, and they estimate it will cost another $100B+.
For a single system 800-mile-long system.
Maybe it’s not about willingness to invest?
Senator Scott Wiener@Scott_Wiener· Nov 25, 2023High speed rail isn’t rocket science. It exists in many places. Yet, the U.S. simply refuses to invest adequately in rail & even when it does invest, makes it hard to actually build it.
We need to catch up. The U.S. will be a better place with more expansive & faster rail.
