"high speed rail

Which means considerably more $."

Or $20M/mile less.

Right now Los Angeles County is busy widening Interstate 5 in the Santa Fe Springs/Norwalk/La Mirada area. That stretch of the 5 hasn’t been widened since the freeway was originally built in the 1950s, and is a regular choke point for drivers. In 2008 LA County voters approved Measure R, which focused most of its money on rail but included a few billion for freeway projects, including widening that section of the 5. That project costs $1.6 billion for about 7 miles – or about $228 million per mile. HSR from LA to Anaheim – $6 billion over 30 miles – would cost about $206 million per mile.
