That's a bit of a false choice. If you don't build the trains you are either willing to forsake future mobility, or for equal mobility you are going to have to build roads and airports of far greater total cost than $68B.

California Government here : Sorry, we need to raise sales tax to 12% to fund the desalination plants. Never let a tragedy go to waste.
