Doubts Cast On Cost Estimates For High-Speed Rail Alternatives

Not surprising that it appears the cost estimates for building HSR alternatives have been severely exagerrated by HSR proponents.
This story read like a put-up job. The article blithely talks about building more airports or enlarging LAX without mentioning that attempts to build another international airport in Palmdale or wherever have been rejected overwhelmingly. They also don't mention that Burbank and Long Beach have refused to enlarge their airports. As for increasing LAX's capacity, where? And how are they going to get passengers to the airport or park their cars once they get there?
