Thank Fook no more hyperloop projects were funded.

First of all, woot, trains.

But this is a smaller section of high speed rail. One Vegas wanted and offered to pay for if memory serves. For a $4.2B project, $3.25B in tax exempt bonds were already authorized. Now another $3B? Looot of money flowing towards this project to get people to casinos. Hope accounting is up to par.

California does have another high speed rail that republicans have fought every step of the way. There is progress, but slow. Could probably toss some of that over budget excess our way to help out. Just say'n.

Love giving public money to private infrastructure.

Anyway, this country needs proper intercity and urban rail like yesterday.

I feel like with 3B they should at least be able to electrify the existing tracks between Rancho Cucamonga and LA Union, and have Brightline stop there. Would make the whole thing so much nicer.

Probably more important to get the project completed first. It's not a perfect project by any means, but it's still pretty good overall.
