Original Note:
$33bn is in 2008 prices. It cannot be directly compared to 2024 prices. ~70% increase in construction inflation since, which affects all construction projects. Since 2018, costs have been presented using year of expenditure rather than nominal figures, which adds another ~14%. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail
