I voted for California High Speed Rail when I was in university. I’m middle-aged now. I hope that one day, my grandchildren will be able to take that train.

No, you didn’t.

You voted for California rail but nothing high speed was ever proposed.

The proposed rail line you are referring to was a normal speed train and didn’t even complete the SF to LA trip in two hours.

Which is to say: we would have achieved, in 2030, what most of the world achieved in 1990.
