Giant concrete arches rise from California farmland - they were supposed to carry 220-mph trains

What you get when California Democrats run your government. And they just smirk at the issues.

IT'S HISTORY   "California’s high-speed rail project promised something the United States had never truly built: 220-mph trains connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles in no more than 2 hours and 40 minutes. Voters approved nearly $10 billion in bonds in 2008, while federal funding followed. Construction eventually began in California’s Central Valley, producing enormous viaducts, bridges, embankments and other infrastructure intended to become the backbone of the system. But the source describes escalating costs, land-acquisition battles, environmental litigation, route changes and political disputes that repeatedly disrupted the original vision. Cost projections eventually climbed beyond $100 billion, while key mountainous sections remained unfinished. The transcript says federal funding was withdrawn again in 2025, while California maintained that the project remained active. It describes 119 miles as graded and 463 miles of the Phase 1 alignment as environmentally cleared, meaning the project is presented as being in limbo rather than formally dead." Video at the link.
