I just learned about this a few minutes ago.

this is inaccurate, the california hsr authority started in 1996 but took 12 years to come up with a plan they could put to voters. and they've been working on it (though for a long time at a glacial pace) since 2008.

It's pitiful overall but it's better than hyperloop

Not as bad as HS2 in Britain. Was projected to take 40 years to make a line from London to Leeds. Now it's on hold again. 200 miles. 40 years.
