Many dumb moves that should have been easy to not do. Think BART white elephant tech, Pacheco and Palmdale Detours, moving the Central Subway from 3rd & Kearny to 4th & Stockton, another 5-6 tube instead of another bridge. Yada-yada.
Underlying mechanism is the infinite growth model which obsesses the financial and political elite. Don't expect any salvation; don't expect any deus ex machina; no Jesus nor ET nor AI is coming down to save the day.
