California's infrastructure woes stem from excessive regulations (e.g., CEQA environmental reviews), frequent lawsuits, high labor costs, and bureaucratic delays—driving costs 2.5x higher than in states like Texas. High-speed rail, budgeted at $33B, now exceeds $128B with no tracks laid after XX years.
In contrast, China, Japan, and Korea succeed via centralized planning, fewer legal hurdles, and efficient public-private models. Australia balances speed with oversight but avoids CA's litigation overload. Streamlining regs could help.
