Meanwhile, the private Brightline high-speed railroad (publicly funded, of course) between Southern California and Las Vegas will be an example of the viability of HSR in the US. It will almost certainly be the first in the nation.

I live in California, and have been a big supporter of CAHSR since it was announced. I'm incredibly disheartened by the pace of construction, massive cost increases, and the horrible mismanagement of this project. The CAHSR CEO even said "
I hope we have the wherewithal to do San Francisco to LA in 3 hours" after completing the initial segment.
Hoping to get the project done, with $100+ billion more added, at this stage is really shitty to hear.
How about you? Any thoughts? What state do you live in?
