address, the governor touched on the state's housing crisis and president trump's proposed border wall. but it was his startling announcement to scale back the rail project that caught many off guard. a lot of work has already been done and money spent on the high-speed rail project since voters first approved it more than a decade ago. what happens now with the big change? reporter anser hassan is live in san jose with perspective tonight. ancer? >> reporter: that's right, dan. many have said this project has problems. but those people who support it say the governor's announcement today kills momentum and jeopardizes the project's future. >> governor gavin newsom is putting the brakes on california's ambitious high-speed rail project. >> current project as planned would cost too much and respectfully take too long. >> the announcement came as a surprise to most. the massive project would link the bay area to southern

will continue. >> so completing the central valley segment, which is the only segment where the train will be traveling 210, 220 miles an hour, it makes sense that he puts his resources there, all the attention of his administration there, so it gets done in a timely manner. >> fresno county supervisor henry pere a says nothing has changed. she's been touting the business benefits of connecting fresno to the bay area. she said she was initially concerned about the direction of the governor's speech. >> when he first started talking, i was a little bit worried. but certainly as you listened to the state of the state, his opinion has not changed. >> but said she remains optimistic. >> he still supports the project. we'll just have to do it in pieces and make sure right now we have enough money to go from bakersfield to merced and when that's done, we'll get money to

go from merced to the silicon valley. >> jim patterson has been a fierce critic of it and predi predicted it would never be completed. in a statement he said supporters and skeptics must band together to make sure we are left with a functional track. we must ensure that we aren't left with the unfinished sdraps of a failed project. in fresno, gene hagen son, abc 7 news. we want to compare the money on two of our big stories here tonight. high-speed rail and our special coverage on b.a.r.t. part of our commitment to building a better bay area. >> in 1962, bay area voters approved a $792 million bond to build b.a.r.t. >> money also came from other source the and according to b.a.r.t., the total cost to build the system back then was about $996 million. that was a lot of money in 1962. we plugged that number into the government's inflation

calculator. >> it's about 8.3 billion in today's dollars. that's what it took to build the initial b.a.r.t. system. compare that to high-speed rail. >> in 2008, voters approved a $9 billion bond to build the initial leg of a high-speed rail network w the state estimates the entire cost to build the entire route has ballooned to $77 billion. >> hard to even imagine that number. so the question tonight is, given the $8 billion in today's money that it took to build the initial b.a.r.t. system in the '60s, is $77 billion and counting too much for statewide high-speed rail. >> that is the crux of the issue. a day on b.a.r.t. today. we wanted to see what it's like on every route at every station. she what we found, that's next. use the #better bay area to -- we can work to identify issues and find
