- lmm 2y agoWhich is to say they're being smart about it. LA is huge and sprawling, there's no guarantee that where you wanted to go was downtown. Build your HSR station somewhere on the metro network (and if it works out then just having the HSR station there will ultimately make it grow into a place worth going), let that take care of the rest.

- andbberger 2y agoCAHSR phase 1 is merced to bakersfield and the current design for SF-LA throws in the towel on the last mile. if you think what they're doing now is silly, just wait until the laypeople get their hands on the altamont/pacheco palmdale/tehachapi discourse.
