the US
I would caution against lumping everyone else in with California. There are definitely functional states in the US that can finish projects. California, however, is not one of them.

- cduzz 3y agoI think the only holes left from the big dig that haven't been filled are in the MBTA's budget from the imaginative financing used to make it happen. The actual physical digging and stuff is all done. And it made Boston a habitable city. https://www.boston.com/cars/untagged/2015/01/05/can-we-talk-rationally-about-the-big-dig-yet/ https://www.boston.com/cars/untagged/2015/01/05/can-we-talk-...
- rented_mule 3y agoHow about we add Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas to the California example? The Interstate 69 project through those states has been going on for decades, and it is nowhere near completion. But I-69 doesn't get the same scrutiny. Maybe because it's about cars rather than trains?
