California high-speed rail dealt blow by Newsom's about-face

2. I agree with him.

But there is a BUT in here too. We have a big need for high speed rail. The problem is that this subject, research, plans, and funding opportunities are drenched in politics and shadows. That makes me want to step back and see where the money is going.

California can not be sucked into a huge project without having a secure plan in place to fund it. We can not get into a construction project that we do not know the total cost of.

I believe that the future of rapid transportation is with the rails and not planes. This is someplace we must go. We just have to use caution and good common since in how we get there.
