We need a high speed train connection. But the Federal government should be building such infrastructure, considering we pay 35% of our taxes to the Fed. In most countries, the central governments builds infrastructure at this scale.
- kelnos 9y agoMost countries don't have strong states/provinces like the US does. Regardless, part of the funding for the CA HSR project does come from the US federal government[0]. It's pretty common in the US for infra projects like this to have multiple funding sources.
