I wish our government would streamline these processes, especially when it comes to NEPA. This is part of the reason projects like this take years to come to fruition.

0:44 Let’s get more federal funding so that these people get to take HSR between Los Angeles and San Francisco in their lifetime. Japan and China are already in the process of refining their existing maglev for wider implementation.

Another assignment to move forward on with the hills and Southern Santa Clara county (San Jose/ Gilroy) to connect the line to the Valley (Stockton/ Bakersfield Ca) ect, haven't drilled any tunnels yet in Southern East of Santa Clara county and Los Angeles area to get in at Victorville to meet up with Bright line Rail system for the Vegas NV run, not building fast enough

Okay, but what is in the EIR? It's a fricking train track. Just build it and stop letting cars and planes pollute our air

I moved to California in 2008. It's now 2024 and the high speed train still doesn't run. Meanwhile entire new high speed rail lines have been built in other countries. What a joke this is.
