Now if only the some of the "technocratic" and "forward-thinking" VCs and corporations of the Bay actually gave a rat's ass about public infrastructure and lobbied for improvements to the system, maybe it would be somewhere.
Alas, I guess moving millions of people is too boring and too close to admitting that maybe the government is better than private institutions at solving a variety of problems.
There is not an infinite supply of money at the state level. Unlike the Fed, California has no ability to create money out of thin air. Therefore, choices must be made.
IMO spending money to maintain BART, which is used by many people every day, is much smarter than funding Governor Moonbeam's train to nowhere.
