Nope it's not that. Japan had higher prices in the 80 and still built more and longer routes. You can keep telling yourself that but the data does not back it up.

These parcels represent roughly 90% of the required right-of-way for that first section

CP 1 (Madera Fresno, ~32mi): ~$797 million

CP 2‑3 (Fresno Tulare‑Kern line): ~$531 million

CP 4 (Tulare‑Kern Shafter, ~22mi): ~$186 million

Where the fuck did the other thats only 1.7 billion dollars retard. Where the fuck did the other 10 billion dollars go?

And then given Phase 1 costs

We can assume say twice as much cost so let's say it's 4 bil for the Merced SF part and another 4 bil for the Bakersfiend Anaheim part.

So land acquisition is a total of higher round up 10 billion dollars.

Okay so faggot why will the entire project cost 120 billion dollars?

So where all the retards that were saying we'd get 3k gibs this week?
