Bring on the HSR...
California desperately needs HSR as does the rest of the US... Those opposed are clueless morons who have never experienced HSR first hand... In Europe HSR is the best thing since sliced bread.... Europe has urban sprawl just like the US, so flush that argument down the toilet. We have to think about the congested future of the country and HSR is the best answer to resolve that issue. Yes, HSR can be targeted by terrorists, but unlike a plane, it can't be flown out of the US nor into a building. If the train is electric, it can be stopped at any time. And hopefully it can be integrated into the rest of the country and take the place of most plane... I would love to be able to take HSR from SF to NY... It may take a little longer than plane, but it should be well worth it and unlike a plane, I wouldn't be forced to sit that entire time and I could just relax and enjoy the trip.
