Wish it was for Hyperloop research and implementation. We did pass a proposition for a $40 billion high speed rail system in 2008. Musk started thinking about the Hyperloop concept because when the plans for the California high speed rail came out, it was the slowest and most expensive high speed rail system on Earth. A decade later, no trains are running and the cost is up near $100 billion (who really knows what it would cost?).
Ah, thanks for the clarification. This over-budget high-speed rail is what I was attempting to refer to by Hyperloop. I forgot that Hyperloop was the new Musk idea.
