Why is it so expensive?
- InclinedPlane 13y agoCalifornia politics.
- jffry 13y agoLand rights. High-speed trains cannot travel in tight turns, so to build SF<->LA requires pretty specific right-of-way purchases.
- InclinedPlane 13y agoNope. Total cost of lease/purchase of all land in the right-of-way is estimated at $1.5 billion for the initial operating section and $4 billion (inclusive) for the full phase 1 system (this is only about 6-7% of the total cost), by far the biggest expenditures are for construction and in operational overhead.
