The private property between SF and LA keeps increasing in price so the costs for the project are in the billions before anything is even built.

Damn, if only eminent domain existed

Even with eminent domain though you still have to pay market value. Edit: Not that they shouldn't do it. It would still be worth it in the long run

Governments can have a funny way of determining market value based on whether they like you or not.

Just point to a row of buildings and declare "slum clearance". Suddenly, you can get them for a steal.
