It is clearly true. And this is the other point about the Second Avenue subway, which, again, I will defend to my death that it is a good project. Have you been on it? We can't, dude.

What's really impossible to defend is how long it has taken I'm not joking when I say it's been there for 50—the tunnel's there for 50 years. It's a 100-year project. It got started in 1920. Which is nuts. And the cost of it.

Yeah. I don't know that that's true, but I know that if you see that much money going in and you don't see results, I don't blame you for assuming it's corruption. Right. Well, where could it go? I think a lot of it is bureaucracy, actually. And it's the inability to get even basic things done. There are exceptions we worked on.

The one thing I worked on that I'm very excited about is another high-speed line that goes from Las Vegas to California, to Southern California. They could be open by 2028 if they hit all of their marks and everything goes well. There's some reasons why that was different, though. Yeah.

And part of why it was different was the public-private partnership, which created a different—and it's a red state next to a blue state. But it's California, too, right? So it's Nevada and California, sponsored by Nevada, which is a swing state, by the way, not a red state, I would argue. Good point. Hey, good point.

And they did some right-of-way stuff where a big part of the route is actually just right down the median of I-15. So it's easy, comparatively easy, compared to having to buy. The problem with the Second Avenue subway, the cost of it, sounds like you know a lot about this. Loves trains. Do love trains. Good. I love trains, too.

The reason it's costing so much here is to even put in a little power facility, let alone a station, you've got to buy real estate out in one of the most dense and expensive places, probably the most dense and expensive place in the entire world. The most expensive buildings in the world. It's incredibly complicated to even just do the signal work in the stations, right? Yeah.
