What trick?  Investors didn't want this project, so the state of California offered a bond measure.  Then within a few minutes after it passed, they doubled the price tag, then didn't offer a new vote.  That is political malpractice and yet another reason why governments should not play in this game.

Investors still don't want this, for reasons easy to see: trains introduce danger from fellow passengers and have all the disadvantages of planes, but are slower, even the high-speed ones.
