Pure guessing and speculation. You have no idea what California will manage and what it won't.
As for Brightline, that's another joke argument: it's privately run! It's not public at all! So it cannot possibly prove anything about what "Florida" can build. Right? So what's your point?
Right now, it runs between Miami and West Palm Beach, btw. That's it. So climate change will wipe that out soon anyway, along with most of Miami.
Postscript: it's also not "high-speed" rail. At all. It fails to meet even "the lowest high-speed rail standard set by the International Union of Railways" as of now, which is 200kph. It's about the speed of car travel.
