#1 I lived in California when the project was proposed. I voted against it because I thought that it would not achieve much, cost way more than estimated and be unsafe. The actual execution of the project was much worse than what I anticipated.

#3 Good for you, Super Hose. I voted for it. Civilized nations with honest governments have trains. They are the ideal alternative to putting all that wear and tear on your own car. But Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom and all their friends are crooks. I got scammed. I got swindled. I should have known better.

#4 Engineering Firms and Contractors/Unions that got work on it were all for it for obvious reasons. I knew the promises (costs, private funding, ridership) were all Bullshit. Voted against it

#6 We voted against it, and knew it would be the stinking boondoggle it turned out to be, just like the Water Projects. CA is a paradise ruled/ruined by scheming kleptocrats and race-baiting morons.
