In San Francisco they did a 1 mile extension of the subway and it cost 1 billion dollars. That's 10x what it would cost in any other major city anywhere in the world, but a whole bunch of middle management surplus elites found a way to get at all the tech company tax revenue, so the tunnel served it's purpose and nobody is upset. The high speed rail project is serving a similar redistributive purpose to act as middle class welfare for people who work from home, go to zoom meetings and produce and review reports. Living in California is already as good as it gets, nothing needs to improve, but it sure is expensive so the governments job is to take tech money and dig and fill up holes in the ground and use homeless crackheads who randomly attack people and are never put in prison to terrorize the normies into continuing to pay for it all. If any of these projects got finished or there was a reasonable resolution to the homeless issue, all those middle class liberal arts degree meeting attenders would be out of a job and couldn't afford to live here.
