I don't understand California but it's weird that then-Governor Jerry Brown had the authority build as much of this train as he did. IIRC, the voters approved a train that did LA-SF in 2h40m and met some affordability criteria. The project cost and projected time from LA to SF exceeded what the voters approved, it seems like there was a court case about whether the vote 'counted' for a train system that didn't meet its obligations. wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail#Legal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail#Leg...
