I guess what can be hoped for is a Chunnel type experience. Those who "invested" to get it built take a bath. Somebody else picks it up for a song, and makes something of it.

In other words, the taxpayers of California lose their shirts. Oh, Goodie !

If this were a Freeway this project would be done on time and only half over budget. I mean what would another Inland Empire Expressway with HOV lanes cost anyway?

The 210 FWY, out where we are, was started around 1970, finished about 5 years ago.
