As a 45 year California resident, I love the dream. I desperately desperately want you to be right, and I want to avoid my well chiseled cynicism, but how the hell can you keep all the bozos out of this project? Politicians with hands out, Builders jacking construction costs, Environmental groups protecting endangered snails, just to name 3. The graft, cost overruns, delays, you’ll be a very old man before this is 1/20 completed. Granted Gavin and his clown car will be gone, but a new clown car filled with new snakes will slither in. Just look at the one mile of train track Gavin built in So Cal. Over 15 years. You’re from old Soviet era Czechoslovakia? This is probably akin to that ugly world. Bonne chance.
