Californians were scammed by high speed rail [View all]

[ripcord]

When high speed rail was proposed it was supposed to cost $33 billion to connect San Francisco and Los Angeles and be finished by now, that was all a lie.The reality is that they are hoping to finish a 171 mile section between 2030 and 2034, this small section will cost $35 billion then to finish the L.A. to Frisco route will cost an additional $100 billion with no estimate of completion.

The high speed rail line to Vegas is expected to complete their 212 mileine by 2027 with an estimated cost of $12 billion. I expect them to come close to these estimates as they have successfully built and are operating high-speed in the U.S.already. This line will originate at the Rancho Cucamonga Metrorail station so it will connect the High Desert to public transportation.

There will be a lot of questions when the Vegas line is up and running, hopefully they will lead to a complete audit and investigation into the California High Speed Rail Authority and this complete boondoggle.
