Well, the news is mixed of late. The CHSRA requested $104m from the upcomming state budget to advance engieeering, more environmental work, and purchasing critical and necessary right of way. The actor-govenor put $1.2m or so in the first version.
I believe some state legislators are wanting more... and may be trying to get the full request honored... but there are competing interests and naysayers.
I read today that some legislators are travelling to France or Tiawan to tour their high speed train systems over the legislative break. Maybe they'll come back with renewed or reinvigorated interest???? We believers can only hope. HSR can reduce demand on Lindbergh Field... I'd think san Diego would want to get behind it!
