I can see why someone might say "not a single mile of track"! One could argue that all the money spent so far has been projects to accommodate private vehicle travel, not the actual train.
And surely building a 119 mile project is not super complicated. It's not like they had to acquire 2295 individual parcels of land. Or that even the minimum 51.5 ft right of way would amount to 742.8 acres. Last time
I built a 742 acre project, I was done in like one or two years tops. Why is this boondoggle taking so long? I have unlimited money, it's not like I've been given inconsistent sofa-money leftovers for a decade instead of funding that allows you to plan your project sequencing. It surely can't be THAT hard to get utilities and railroads to do their part (with your money) to relocate a power pole or an irrigation ditch or their mainline track. It's not like a billionaire would propose sucking people through a tube at 700mph in an effort to derail the whole project.
You can either repeat conservative talking points or you can try to find out what is actually being accomplished. Be better.
