Well I'm certainly with you there. I really don't understand, because the train would go pretty much the same route as the current Caltrain/BART routes, would it not? Are they just not being realistic with how much "more noise" or "visual pollution" it will cause? It's not like it will be blasting at 100+ mph through metropolitan areas.
Build it up here first, connect us to SoCal. We'll see a boom in our economy for doing so! Imagine all of those elementary school kids coming from down there to tour the Capital? or tourists coming here or going to Napa or Tahoe from here?
I think I've found KJ's next "push"....
