Just mildly curious, because there is no chance that I will ever ride the train, and little chance that I will pay for it.

Is there any astronomical level of projected expense, any minimal level of projected ridership, any estimation of how little a train will help congestion on Highway 1, any estimation of environmental destruction from building it that will cause train supporters to question their support?

I think the answer is “No!” but I don’t understand why.
