In 2008 Californians voted to approve Proposition 1A to build 800 miles of high speed rail. “By 2020 passenger service will begin on the Anaheim/Los Angeles to San Francisco backbone of the system” Here are some of the claims this Bill would deliver: * 600,000 construction jobs * 450,000 permanent jobs * Speeds of up to 220mph * Downtown LA to Downtown SF in 2 1/2 hours * Trains will carry 100 Million passengers a year by 2030 * First trains running by 2015 “Wikipedia” (🤪) says California has spent $11.2 BILLION in the last 17 years and there isn’t even a single piece of high speed track laid.
