I remember the high speed rail between LA and Sacramento being announced like 15 years ago.
That project is not comparable to this project. This project is in the Mojave desert. No mountains, no farmland/landowners to deal with, no bureaucracy cause nobody gives a flying fuck as long as the company puts up the money to build it.
There is one big problem, but it's going to get built, and probably by '28.
It's also mostly running in the highway median so the ROW is even easier than normal desert running, plus everyone stuck in car traffic will have to seethe as the train goes flying right by them
