Californians voted for the high-speed rail when it was clearly unreasonable and unnecessary. Just dumb voters.

There is significant transit need for a high speed rail connection between Los Angeles and San Francisco. That is what voters agreed to.

Of course, lobbyists got in the way and what actually happened was an unfinished Sacramento <-> Bakersfield line that nobody will use.

I don’t agree with the significant need. Hour flights between Burbank to Oak are and have been cost reasonable and traffic between and outside the cities does not suffer congestion problems. It would make more sense between LA and SD.
