In the Pacific Northwest the liberals delayed a $4.5 billion project for a bridge and HOV lanes (SR 520) due among other things to the Marbled Murrelet bird and a few owls. Not unexpectedly, that project took 30 years from conception to finish.
But at least they finished it. Of the original San Francisco-to-Los Angeles high-speed rail system, Newsom has spent $14.8B over the past 18 years and it has zero operational miles of fast train.
There is a high probability that Elon will be reporting that from Mars to make a point LOL

Newsom was elected Governor in 2019. And no, it was never expected to be operational any time soon. Also, buying up hundreds of parcels of land (many presenting legal hurdles and eminent domain lawsuits, etc takes years. Then there's years to be spent building massive concrete aquaducts and bridges.
