There is always a reason to say ‘no,’ CA needs to say ‘yes’ to rail bond

With the California economy struggling and the November election rapidly approaching, the debate over the proposed high speed rail system in California is heating up. California, the world’s 6th largest economic entity, has abysmal transportation options (with the Bay Area being the semi-exception.)
A high speed rail system that would connect SF, Sacramento, the Central Valley, LA, Orange County, and San Diego, would allow the state to join the rest of the developed world (outside of the US) with a fully functional high speed rail system. Not only that, but a proper city-to-city high speed rail system would also encourage development of rail lines on a local level in order to connect to the high speed network (as is the case in Europe).
Obstructionists, ideologues, and NIMBYs have and will continue to find reasons to say “no” to this measure, but we cannot allow these self-righteous minority voices to have a veto power over a project so important to the state. As a result, we are strongly in favor of Prop 1A.
