      High Speed Rail is in a Renaissance phase here in the US, it’s incredibly exciting! I’m not sure how this fits the current discourse here though.

      • My brother in Zeus. Saudi’s HSR started after and finished before California’s HSR. Your government would sooner loot the project for copper wires and steel beams to sell, so that it has money to send to Israel, than allow it to finish.

        Your entire government’s purpose is to finance and aid Israel, everything else is coincidental.

          Well there’s a difference in governance. If the US was not a democracy with protections for private property, HSR would’ve likely been complete. Not to mention the vast differences in terrain which pose difficult engineering questions to be answered.
