See I kind of disagree. High speed train would let people live outside of SF which in turn would ease the pressure on the currently existing city transit.

- ghaff 7y agoHSR would let people spend a number of hours a day commuting to the Bay from Fresno at the cost a few hundred dollars per day. I doubt that would be attractive to all that many people except for those who commute into the Bay area for a chunk of the week and stay in a hotel. But at that point, they could be flying from just about anywhere west of Chicago.
- nickthemagicman 7y agoI think we're thinking of different definitions for a high speed train? There's already a train that connect SF and LA that fits your description.
- throwaway1777 7y agoIt would be too expensive to use for a commute, so I doubt it would let too many people move outside the city.
