I did say specifically what the cause is in my very first post. Land. Labor. Materials. All things that impact all construction project equally and that do not have their prices determined by the project management team.
Then you chimed in to say that it would be an "interesting revelation" to find out that the cost of land, labor, and construction materials has doubled in the past decade. No - it isn't. This is exactly what has happened and most of us already know this. This is not a good reason to question the fundamental need for high speed rail.
We are going in circles. The itemized cost breakdowns you are looking for for this project are almost certainly out there somewhere. It's not our job to go find this for you. Constantly casting doubt on the integrity of public officials and calling for investigations may work on the general pubic, but it sure as hell isn't going to work on me.
