High-cost Rail Part 95 BART Issues

I was travelling last week so I missed the news of the "computer glitch" that took down BART for more than two hours, but the Wall Street Journal report about it noted

Much of BART's infrastructure is aging and its cars, computers and electrical system are among the oldest in the country, according to Elizabeth Deakin, professor of city and regional planning at the University of California, Berkeley.  "BART has done a heroic job of keeping its system running" she said, but added: "It can't go on forever."

I have an idea, why don't we spend $100 billion or more on a high-speed rail system to LA instead of fixing it?

Brilliant insight by Joe. As usual. Too bad the smart insightful ones can't get elected to state or federal office.
