[quote=AK] . . . NIMBY-ism: Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, and San Jose are already banding together in opposition to high-speed rail. Is this because of “environmental impacts,” or because high-speed rail will diminish the location premium factored into local property values?[/quote]

The SD trolley is a technically considered a light rail. Ask homeowners on Woodlawn and Oaklawn Aves in Chula Vista if the noise and “presence” of the SD Trolley doesn’t impact their lives and you’ll get your answer.

In ALL income levels, it will impact the residents lives that are directly affected by the noise and activity of the tracks and its designated “stops.”
