Wasting $10s of Billons on HSR between LA and SF when what we really need is reliable regional commuter transit.
SF-Sacremento/Fresno; LA to Palmdale/LV/SD.
The Chinese model would have built that, would have been done in 5 years. I do admire their efficiency, just not the rampant corruption, exploitation of rural residents, ignoring all local considerations, and not caring about economic sustainability.
