Folks wondering why Dems lost so many races should spend time reflecting on the CA HSR debacle.
California has the nationโs highest housing costs. Some blame a housing shortage; others, government policies. We sit down with experts to explore whatโs driving costs and discuss the state-mandated Housing Development initiative and why some cities push back.

Why Housing Costs Are Still Through the Roof in California
To be fair, Morocco has had a very good run of economic/infrastructure/educational development
and would be better advised to focus on actually realizing public works, not on virtue signaling about โCalifornia valuesโ.
Boy that statement should have been the last word on kicking Newsom out of office
The government really sucks because it hasn't been about solving actual problems for decades.
When Democrats get Republicans out of the way and have a democrat utopia, they can't seem to build anything 
I mean this with all seriousness:
Is there a *single* thing the California government does that is above the US state average.
I mean, theyโve barely even counted half their votes yet, something Brazil can do in hours!
WTF to California taxpayers even get for their money!?
CAGW was created to follow up on the last comprehensive review of federal government operations, the Grace Commission under President Ronald Reagan. We canโt wait for to lead President 's government efficiency commission and help them to be successful.
Arguably, it's politically working as intended. Property owners got what they wanted.
Morocco is an oil rich country with a hybrid government thats essentially still ruled by a King, so these kinds of projects are quickly implemented. Its not like its a country in the midst of war or conflict like its neighbors
How to fix that issue lol? Can we write a statewide ballot referenda regarding that?
And thatโs ignoring the existing engineering hurdles of drilling through tehachapi, San Gabriel mountains and Pacheco pass!
High speed rail is in Florida
Next should be Texas
California would never be a leader in this
ha of course it is. Adding the Casablanca - Marrakech route then hopefully Agadir before the WC.
In France, we paid 7,7 billion euros for the LGV Paris - Bordeaux (300 km), built in 5 years, and we thought it was incredibly costly.
African leaders are racing to adjust their US approach for a wheeling-and-dealing president.
I lived in California for a decade while working in Yosemite. You had to take a bus to a train to a bus to a train to go from SF to LA. In 2020. I was then preached to about the merits over decades of their system. First time Red voter, for reasons like this.
Energy vampires are real and they are plaguing state and local government.
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland enters the chat.
HSR doesnโt make sense by any measure. It is political obsession among liberals.
They are still counting votes. If they can not figure that out they arenโt building a high speed train. Plus they lost Elon.
Whatโs new or surprising?

It took nearly 10 years to open a Trader Joe's in San Francisco.
The reason: bureaucracy, bribes, corruption.
This is the story of how a corruption scandal left a neighborhood without a grocery store for years.

Not just "politically dysfunctional" but endemically corrupt and incompetent.
And the architect and ring master who presides over this debacle, Gavin Poopsome, wants to be president so he can take this clown show nation wide.
The deal Trump should offer California is, give Trump full power to ignore ALL regulations and in exchange, Trump finishes the high speed rail quickly. Good for voters of California, good for America
Should the highest office in the country be exempt from a rigorous merit-based selection process? If Kamala Harris couldnโt handle most basic tasks given to her in the past 3.5 years why should she or her party be trusted to fix the problems they created? dimsimplemedia.com/what-is-the-re
This is EVERYTHING in California. This is how it works here .... it does not.
