Oh boy, don't get me started on this. The voters in California got sold a bill of goods on high speed rail. We were told that high speed rail between SF and LA is somehow "public transportation". It is nothing of the sort. It is $10 Billion down the toilet. Now if that money were used to subsidize city buses - and NOT light rail - then you could argue that the money was doing good.
