[@476434,Tres13] What sounds like a good deal?

[@580625,QuixoticSoul] LOL, except Gov. Nobrain cancelled the project, and the Federal Government wants the $1 Billion back, which of course those wonderful folks have refused to return. The project was already millions overbudget, and the initial estimates of $33 Billion for construction were vastly understated, which is no real suprise

[@494950,sunsporter1649] As usual you are uninformed. The project continues. It was scaled back, not cancelled.

The costs keep going up because the value of the land that needs to be purchased keeps going up. Welcome to California real estate 😂

The longer the government sits and frets about costs, the more expensive it will get.

[@580625,QuixoticSoul] Wadda ya bet the Union Pacific could have told them that back when Gov. Moonbeam proposed it, which is why no corporation had not already done it. Another California brilliant idea to save the world goes down the tubes. When youse guys gonna learn to get out of the way and let those who know something about running a business run the business?
