I’m actually all for these overpasses. I’ve seen them in Canada and they can be quite helpful. However. As stated in the post, this project in particular has become a, to use their own word of choice “boondoggle” with nut jobs adding their hair involved and one giant sucking sound. Keep shining the light.
California and in particular Gavin Newsome are a classic reason why the American debt is 36 + billion dollars. This. Folly crossing is the classic example of BUREAUCRACY + STUPIDITY coming together to produce the CROSSING TO NOWHERE THAT NEVER ENDS ! There are more “ cost overruns “ here than runners in a Boston Marathon . If California keeps up this lunacy pace of spending $$ on “ butterfly walkways “ in the sky at the taxpayers expense there will be NO MORE TAXPAYERS left in California only butterflies !
Newsom doesn't care about wasting taxpayer money. It's not his so why would he? How much did his trip to Davos cost him? Probably nothing. These people are living fat and happy while regular taxpayers are guilted into giving up more.

The most beautiful state in the union is being ruined by the one party regime. Trains to nowhere, bridges for butterflies, sanctuaries for addicts and the mentally ill, open drug markets, human misery and death in urban slums redefined as dignified living, poop apps as a navigation aid, free everything for anyone waddling across the border, while taxing the sh*t out of working citizens. Why build or fix anything if whole armies of appointed cronies, private and public, can get paid great sums for studying and planning it? Anyone who's pointing the obvious corruption, incompetence and malfeasance out gets the "Well, it's not that bad!" Why?

No denying our society is rapidly unraveling in many ways. Another big way is due to our war with Iran. Rand Paul says “We can’t rebuild Iran, we have no money!” A major demand by Iran though for them to re-open the straight is for America to pay reparations for the damage done. Trump will never agree to that plus it’d be politically impossible since most Americans were opposed to this war. This means the war can only escalate with no end in sight. This does not bode well for our future or for the future of our world.
“We can’t rebuild Iran, we have no money!” Rand Paul on War in Iran. (11 min)
Seva the Iran conflict has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DREAMBOAT GOVERNOR ! Obviously you don’t want Gavin + his pals blamed for this butterfly walkway to nowhere . Remember this GAVIN + his merry gang of squanderers started this “ never ending project “ long before there was an Iranian conflict . I suppose also under your theory that the Railway to Nowhere as well as other Newsom calamities is the fault of the POTUS ! The one thing about stupidity is you can’t hide it forever eventually it shows as in the Gavin Projects to Nowhere ! Get this right Trump DIDN’T. HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH GAVIN’S LUNATIC PROJECTS TO BANKRUPT CALIFORNIA ! GAVIN AND YOUR STATE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS OWN THIS ALL BY THEMSELVES and all of them should be in prison for committing FRAUD ON THE TAXPAYERS !
We couldn’t rebuild Japan, Germany or Europe either. Has Rand ever seen what a successful war of winning is, how it is waged or what happened afterwards? Nope. Can you? All he has is the experiences of the past failures of wars to bring the other side to negotiations, the most recent being Obama and Biden. What would it cost to rebuild any of our big cities after a nuclear device was set off? I like Rand. But sometimes he spends more time denigrating rather than helping find a solution. This is not a war of choice because Obama and Biden made the wrong choice to let Iran go on its merry way to fulfill its promises to make everyone in their radical Islam imagine. And quite frankly, no one, no living Dem leader, has any idea how to wage a war to win. All they know is how to lose them and negotiate worthless treaties that make the world less safe. Trump was forced to make the decision he did because previous presidents would not. No one has any expertise to judge, it’s just ignorant whining of those who have no idea how to keep our country, not to mention the world, safe.
How absurd. You are stuck in Korea, old man. Your assumptions are flawed, as are Rand Paul's. No one has ever said we are going to rebuild Iran, except for Perpetual Naysayer Rand Paul. Why should we? Once things are straightened out they can rebuild themselves with their oil revenues and highly educated population. We would remain observers as long as rebuilding doesn't include nuclear weapons development.
“No one has ever said we are going to rebuild Iran,”
The Iranians say the war will not end until Israel/America pay reparations for the damage done. I live in Chicago, not Korea. I’m a man but far from old.
The IRGC is decentralized and spread out. They have much support within the country and are getting help from Russia with precision targeting intelligence and improved technology for their missiles and drones. It won’t take many of them to keep the straight closed.
Papa Smurf would be proud! I’m curious how much of that money was recycled back into Democrat political campaigns through donations? They definitely have a knack for that kind of recycling. Seriously, these people would virtue signal themselves off a cliff if given the opportunity.
Wasting money is a feature--not a bug--for those with a globalist agenda.
I'm not kidding.
Exactly. They aren't necessarily ‘wasting’ the money if it's going to political allies or supporters. They use taxpayer money as a slush fund.

“One reason is that Newsom and WAWC’s philanthropic supporters apparently don’t mind it becoming a patronage program.”
Indeed, that is clearly the intent of many projects at every level of government.
Similar to how USAID was being used, or how Abrams received $2B in “green” grants.
Estimates of one in seven dollars (one trillion annually) of the US budget are entirely believable.

Trillion dollars sorry about the dollar mistake
When you have to start a news conference with, “there’s no boondoggle", it's almost certainly a boondoggle.
Newsom doesn't care about wasting taxpayer money. It's not his so why would he? How much did his trip to Davos cost him? Probably nothing. These people are living fat and happy while regular taxpayers are guilted into giving up more.

Marie Antoinette had more sense.

You forgot child trafficking
Not surprising! "I miss the old Darren." (I know most of you have not idea what I just said) but I miss CA from the '60's and '70's
New Darren was meh, especially compared to REAL (old) Darren.

Great points about obama @ biden , two of the worst politicians in history.

“No one has ever said we are going to rebuild Iran,”
The Iranians say the war will not end until Israel/America pay reparations for the damage done. I live in Chicago, not Korea. I’m a man but far from old.
Then Israel will respond with the bill for the damage done to Israel by Iran and Hezbollah since 1980es. They will end up in black, I guarantee.
The war will end when Iran runs out of rockets. It is coming soon.
The IRGC is decentralized and spread out. They have much support within the country and are getting help from Russia with precision targeting intelligence and improved technology for their missiles and drones. It won’t take many of them to keep the straight closed.
Double the overpass’s utility and funding sources by routing the high-speed rail over it. 😅
Could this be the bridge to that LA to SF high speed train?? Similar boondoggle
Except that is is supposed to span the 101. Different route.
I know but with idiot newsom, who knows
this will not help the Newsome for President 2028 effort I am loving it. Save yourself USA, you can learn from us here in California

Overpasses for critters, while homeless veterans and civilians sleep in LA's streets.
You sure have your priorities straight, Gavin.
