When 'Don't Want It' Meets 'Don't Need It'
-
If you've been following the saga of our little California Bullet Train, you know that we voted to approve billions for a train that goes, basically, from nowhere to nowhere. And now, for the parts that have to get people from somewhere (Los Angeles downtown) to nowhere (somewhere out near Bakersfield), practically every town in the way is trying to block the train from being built there. The only alternative -- spending more billions burrowing tunnels under the Angeles Crest mountains -- is being fought by environmentalists. Basically, it's a NIMBY-fest. They didn't know this was coming before it was put on the ballot? You couldn't see this coming a thousand miles away? We're going to spend billions AND not get a train, aren't we? (Los Angeles Times)
