Well, we have evidence of it working in the aforementioned Pleasanton, Walnut Creek, and Concord examples which are no less car-dependent than a hypothetical HSR-connected Stockton. It stands to reason that there are thousands of people doing exactly what you describe. What's the difference if you could maintain that same 45-minute commute time from a more distant city with faster train service?
