I know this is conspiracy theory, but whenever "someone" tries to pass a regulation law in California, I can't help but feel that they are trying to inject bureaucracy into highly profitable industry to milk some money out. Look at 1600 feet (about 500 meters) rail bridge on the Fresno River Viaduct that cost 11 billion USD and took 9 years to build. The California agency must have distributed all the fund over the course of 9 years to "someone" in the name of regulation.

The whole California high-speed rail project is a gigantic white elephant and waste of taxpayer money. But that one viaduct over the Fresno River didn't cost anywhere near $11B.
