As a California resident, WTF are you talking about?
lol.. you got duped into giving away your money to a rail system that failed miserably.
California's HSR is perhaps the greatest infrastructure failure in the history of the country. And the reason it failed is because of a gross failure of state governance, one on such a grand scale that it is nothing short of a betrayal of Californians. The betrayal dates back to the project's inception.

Curious, you ever look into the various groups that lobby to kill high speed rail before it happened? Like, I dunno, maybe the Koch's and Musk, who have interests in other industries, hamstringing and delaying any possibility of high speed rail.
Note, it ain't just California in the US who doesn't have it, it's all of America.
From what I remember, they also kept increasing the budget for the rail system.
Funny how that happens when people with too much money keep fighting you.
