Totally agree 100% and wrote about this in 2015 but on a different tack. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/americas-disastrous-mass-tran...

Reality is California is terrible at the mega projects - look at LA metro as an example. We are out of practice and the graft level is through the roof. Any public funds are likely far better spent on smaller projects that are chosen for the outsize benefit.

SF to LA is already solved by airlines and the freeway. The benefit of a rail will be marginal and temporary when cars become good at driving the freeway autonomously.
