> The original route What "original route"? The route is quite literally encoded into the state law, passed by plebiscite. The route is required to serve Fresno, Bakersfield, and Palmdale. The fact that SNCF thought it would be easier to build a TGV in a depopulated colony is immaterial. Seriously look at the cover of the 2005 EIR that was published before Prop. 1A was passed. This is the original route! There was never another one! https://hsr.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/docs/programs/eir-eis/State_Wide_EIR_EIS_Volume_1_Part_1_of_3.pdf https://hsr.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/docs/programs/eir-eis/... > It was clearly hijacked as a way to steal funds earmarked for transit More ignorance here. It's the opposite. Prop 1A funds are funding local transit projects, in the billions of dollars. HSR funds paid to electrify Caltrain. Look, it's perfectly obvious that you do not have a factual grounding for your beliefs. Instead of posting, why don't you research?
