Laughable.
- - California Governor Jerry Brown said that the state???s high-speed rail project will cost much less than the $100 billion estimate - - -
They said the same thing about the $3 billion Big Dig in Boston.
Taxpayer bill = $14 billion and climbing and hundreds of millions in design flaws have to be fixed. A nearly 5 fold increase in costs for a project that saw a reduction in scope to contain costs.
The basic system design of the California HSR project is fundamentaly flawed making it doomed from the start. After they spend decades trying to make a bad plan work this California HSR project will cost close to a TRILLION dollars by the time they walk away from it.
