It went to that goofy high-speed rail project of Moonbeam Brown. That will be finished, if it ever does get finished, long after 80 year old Brown is dead.  He wanted it as a monument to him. It's no longer the 1800's people just hop on a one hour plane flight to get from LA to SF not sit on a train for 4 hours.    And logically think about it, who lives in LA or SF and travels to the other city to work - answer no one.  They live near the city they work in.  That thing will hardly be used especially since the price will be high to make up for all the passengers that don't materialize. If I can figure this out before it started getting built why couldn't the brain dead politicians in California do so?  I swear there needs to be some type of rule if you're not Financially literate you can't run for office.
