re: #226 Gus 802

I used to dream of high speed rail doting the American landscape. Satellite solar power stations orbiting the globe. The proverbial “jet pack” vision of the future where mankind accelerates into the future embracing new and sustainable technology. I had those dreams and vision almost 30 years ago. Here we are 30 years later and we’ve barely made a dent in attaining those dreams. Our system of transportation and way of living remains much as it did 30 ago.

we desperately need high speed rail in California. one that runs from Sac to SF, from SF to LA, from LA to San Diego. 24/7. It would open up the entire central valley and adjoining regions for both housing and employment. As you mentioned, barely a dent in this idea has been made. The auto industry has too strong a hold, to the detriment of Californians.
