Your attitude can only work until the state chokes on transportation congestion and then the HSR will get built. But it will cost you and everyone else more.

Well pal, when that's the proposal, I'll vote yes with you. Until then, I'm not buying and I have good reason not to buy it. You can call it "chauvinism" if you like. But the history of large California transportation projects suggests that, as proposed, only the LA/sf segment will be constructed. If you want HSR in California within the next dozen years, you better get you and your fellow supporters to develop a more equitable plan and put that on the ballot.
Until then... no thank you.
