    High speed rail... since we are talking about throwing money away. Once built it would st least be useful

    California is close to 100 billion now and has no track laid
    I actually thought they had put some rail line down out around Merced and was going to post some wise ass crack about travelling from beautiful Tulare to Modesto but I went and looked in order to confirm before running my mouth, you're right, they still haven't put down even a single mile of track. Unfucking believable.

    Imagine if they spent the money on reservoirs to collect all that rain that just washed away.

    Naaah, what good would that do? Better to "invest" in on high speed rail and healthcare for illegals.

    Could build a reservoir and then build a big culvert and run water through a turbine generator and make electricity. Not sure if anyone else ever thought about using gravity and water as a renewable energy source.

    California is going to redirect the money to reparations.

    Spend the 100 billion on a real war not some fake war - similar to Grenada - won and they haven't caused any problem since. has to be another major enemy we can conquer -

    Burn it to reduce the money supply and curb inflation.

    Making the same progress as the "new" I-5 bridge and expanding I-5 through north Portland. I'm seeing a pattern.
    In all honesty I'm shocked they still haven't put down a mile of track. I know they've built some of elevated structures to support some of the track because I've seen them the past few times out was out in the Valley. That's got to be the greatest make work job ever created. Seriously this is like African kleptocracy level corruption. Nothing ever gets built and all the money is stolen.
    I used to say this about California a decade ago, the corruption is as bad or worse than 3rd world and people would laugh at me.

    Now they play the ostrich boy game instead.

    It's gotten so much worse here in the last 10 years.

    I'm really not a greedy person, plus since I've lived here my entire adult life I'm sorta ignorant to how much I'm getting screwed in taxes/fees.

    But there needs to be something to show for it. The homeless shit is insane. The grid is perma-fucked. Dams are crumbling. Forests aren't maintained and then we cry climate change when half the state burns down. A water crisis that could have been solved with a pinch of funding from the bullet train to Bakersfield.

    The money seems to just disappear and everything gets shittier.

    It's still home, but damn it's tempting to get out.
    Miami welcomes you.

    They are building the right of way now in the central valley... these huge sections over farmland etc because they decided to go down 99 instead of 5.

    When I finish working I'm out of here. Here's one example of the decline where I live. The public high school where I live used to be fairly solid in terms of academics. If you had a kid that was academically inclined there were AP classes and college track classes they could take. The school was safe, with the only really incidents being the normal school fights. Thankfully my youngest kid graduated last year.

    This year, there has already been at least a half a dozen incidents involving guns on campus. No one has been shot yet, but the school has been locked down numerous times because of guns. This would have been unthinkable even 5 years ago. The quality of the Education has tanked completely. Woke indoctrination has replaced it.

    That was on account of the politicians demanding that the "high speed" train make plenty of stops in places like Merced and Tulare.
