“The state has since given up on connecting LA & SF by high speed rail”

Back in 2019 Governor Newsom put most of the CA HSR plan on hold indefinitely.[1] Now the official plan is to build a 171-mile high speed rail link from Bakersfield (population 524,000) through Fresno (population 542,000) to Merced (population 83,000), though that might be cancelled since it'll cost over $20 billion.[2]
