I believe the bond amount is $9.95 Billion, not million.

If it's $9.95 million then it's SEVERELY underfunded.

If it's ten cents, it's ten cents wasted.

Thanks for the catch -- it is $9.95 billion, not million.

We can see this Menlo Park resident use different excuses to find fault with the High Speed Rail Authority.

Well, I'm not worried about $9.95 Billion. Not a single inch of high speed rail track will be laid.
Look at Bart to San Jose as a (non)example, or Bart to Oakland Airport for $480 million to go a few miles.
What I'm interested in is how the election was stolen. When I went to bed, the bond was losing with 80% percent reporting. When I woke up, the money was gone. And bonds couldn't be a worse way to fund a project.

HSR is only wanted by the tax parasites who derive their incomes from it.

At least, residents in Menlo Park are speaking up a little more than here. Forget about the 9.95B bond; this thing is going to cost $43.6B if we believe HSRA, and $100B or more (mostly of OUR money) if we believe actual experts.
