$36.4b on highway resurfacing $33.5b on highway expansion $25.6b on transit and passenger rail To get comparisons of what this gets you: > Elevated Major Freeway / Interstate, 4 lanes 12’ wide each lane & 3’ shoulder, urban location in S.E. USA. $71.33 million per mile. Comparable in SoCal is $200m/mi, I believe 2 miles of underground rail in SF is $4000m/mi Therefore, you can get 20 miles of highway in urban California for about what you can get for a mile of rail. Given those numbers, the choice is out of our hands. We cannot pay for public transit. In fact, it's not clear that this is a net economic positive at these costs. https://compassinternational.net/order-magnitude-road-highway-costs/ https://compassinternational.net/order-magnitude-road-highwa... https://sfstandard.com/2023/10/27/san-francisco-downtown-rail-extension-portal-cost/ https://sfstandard.com/2023/10/27/san-francisco-downtown-rai...
