California's high-speed rail project has consumed billions in federal funds without significant progress. The project aims to connect two metropolitan areas with a combined GDP equivalent to that of Australia in just 2 hours and 40 minutes. However, critics argue that the project has been a boondoggle, with significant costs, including twin 12-mile tunnels, and limited tangible results.
The $1.2T infrastructure bill is off to a dismal start. $42.5B for rural broadband? No results. $7.5B for EV charging? Only 8 stations built. Government promises big, delivers little. OVER BUDGET, OVER TIME, UNDER BENEFIT, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. https://t.co/85e1VHOxf7
California high-speed rail. The train to nowhere. https://t.co/RNL1MZmyRa
California HSR will connect two metropolitan areas with a combined GDP equivalent to that of Australia in just 2 hours and 40 minutes. How am I supposed to not think this is the most transformational transportation project on the continent? https://t.co/11ZvF9gvQb

The same people who have already spent billions of dollars to have just a couple random bridges in unpopulated areas now are boasting about building twin 12-mile tunnels as part of this boondoggle of a project. How much will that cost? https://t.co/fR6cyEP9RM
