About California High-Speed Rail Authority
The Authority is responsible for planning, designing, building and operation of the first high-speed rail system in the nation. California high-speed rail will connect the mega-regions of the state, contribute to economic development and a cleaner environment, create jobs and preserve agricultural and protected lands. By 2029, the system will run from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in under three hours at speeds capable of over 200 miles per hour. The system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, totaling 800 miles with up to 24 stations. In addition, the Authority is working with regional partners to implement a statewide rail modernization plan that will invest billions of dollars in local and regional rail lines to meet the state’s 21st century transportation needs.

Bullet train to bankruptcy.
Yep. Bullet train to nowhere is much more important than a project for something frivolous like WATER.
Such a waste of our money!
Meanwhile North I-5 is now wide enough for at least 6 lanes but is only 5, with a pointless & unnecessary right lane merge point at the bottom of the hill at the north end of the Gavin Cyn bridge. Yeah, let’s take years to build roads only to not use them, and waste millions on a money pit train that will only bankrupt itself. Sounds like sound financial and infrastructure management to me!
Crazy Train
Not a chance in hell I’ll ever ride that next to the San Andreas fault line.
Love it! Can’t wait to ride!
Times are changing….
What?!!…… I thought the people voted against it!
What a waste..
No time changing here …I guaranteed its going to fail.
If you have to continuously lie to keep a project going…… long live The Brown Streak.

Public sentiment appears overwhelmingly against this boondoggle, yet Brown gets re-elected in a landslide… huh?
The Feds gave ca. A bunch of $s, no doubt it bought loyal votes and most has already been spent. Watch for a bond for more $s to waste on a train to nowhere in the desert that’s out of money.Disgusting!!
Please, let it go to hel, before much more money is lost.
My cussing ability on facebook comment sections is hindered due to past exposé things.
What a complete waste of money. Someone is getting very wealthy off this pet project scam.
If they go ahead – the money will not be enough – and they will come back to us for more to finish – lets just vote the right way and say NO – lets leave this unfinished project as is and let that be a reminder for Sacramento – we gave you money you ask for and that will have to be enough.
I agree with David Landress
Legal or not everyone gets fitted with a special high speed Bullet Train Helmet…. And Yes FREE!
