^Where are these people getting this? The Authority has said no such thing, and it wouldn't even be allowable without a new proposition to overwrite prop 1A. They seriously think that passing a new statewide proposition to fund HSR from SJ to LA has a better chance of happening than dealing with a few NIMBYs in Palo Alto?

I'm sure that the "source" used by KLIV is an intern at most, and more likely, someone who doesn't even work at the Authority. Probably the Menlo Park newspaper or something.

The fact that the article mentions "200 mph trains running on the peninsula" even though that has NEVER been proposed by anyone (125 mph would be the limit between SF and SJ) is telling.
