The high speed rail act (CHSRA) was passed in California in 1996.

1996 is just when a planning authority was formed.

2008 is when voters approved the money and the plan, under a Republican Governor.

"In 2008, California voters approved the issuance of $9 billion in bonds for high speed rail in Proposition 1A,[34] a measure to construct the initial segment of the network."

formed in 1996 to develop for a 1998 ballot measure.

It only took 23 years for the opposition to be proven right.

IMO people vote for rail hoping the other people fucking up their car commute use it

California allows you to pay to use the car pool lane as a single. A wonderful innovation especially if the company pays for it

For all the tree hugger green free pub Cali gets they build roads down here. The people demand it. It was one thing that surprised me when I came here. Lots and lots of freeways and more since I got here

Saying that the voters approved the money for the plan under a Republican Gov. is technically correct but very misleading. It was a fucking ballot measure. The public voted in favor of it based up on the lies that were being told to sell it and because California voters are dumb as dogshit.

Jerry Brown, a Rat Gov. is who kept this boondoggle alive for the last eight years after it had long became obvious that it was a shit plan that was nothing more than a black-hole that sucks up public money.

Whatever California is doing, every other state just needs to do the opposite, and they'll be fine.
