The majority of Californians arguably DO want high-speed rail in some shape or form, but after the perceived baiting/switching of those who crafted the original initiative, those still supporting the current high-speed rail plan will have some serious uphill climbing to make it a reality.
It's easy to presume that the opposition to the California High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) Plan is merely partisan in nature, but Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and other Democratic leaders running to replace Brown in 2018 will likely put this plan on hold or, more likely, modify it greatly to slow it down and make it more affordable.
