Probably be part of another series of when Engineering goes wrong.

Living here in the drought stricken state (with little noticeable effort to increase water storage) and observing the blind ambition of creating a High Speed Rail ("Racket" more like) system that was proposed as $6 billion just 7 or so years ago, before more accurate (and honest) costs were finally forecasted for the project to hit 100% of what the first estimates indicated... or were so promised to the public to further assist in passing proposition... so... I'm gonna say California is a part of another series of when politics go wrong.


"Same as it ever was, same as it ever was."

Hey, you guys keep electing the best Governors - a past his prime actor; a retired body builder and an aging hippy (twice). What did you expect?
