The fact that Ohio, Missouri, Florida are against. HSR- We Californians need to stick together. I think it is time for Brown to step up!! Our state has a large land mass not like little Ohio..... We purchase a lot of cars hence more pollution- and we have been doing a lot to correct that-the "Green"coalitions should be helping our senators and statespersons. So, why are our statespeople not trying to get them on the transportation Transportation boards side? Could it be that it is more of an Anti-democratic/Obama campaign for presidency race of Republicans? News Flash- Politicians you may see us as pins in you game- but you are helping to increase homeless, hence diseases-ask you police about resistant staph- hence crime, and helping though who do justify drug use as well as trafficing! Think about that as you play your "My tribe is better than yours because we stick together" game!!!P

By the time this project is completed, cars will drive themselves, and cabs will be driverless and cheaper than bus fares. Automobile accident rates will plummet. Fewer people will own cars because it will be so cheap to hire one. Fewer cars will mean less traffic and higher speeds. Of course, passenger trains will be far beyond obsolete; they will be economically impossible. The good news is that the tracks will still be suitable for moving freight.
