A TEE or Intercity dumbdown of CAHSR will prove a failure. All you have to do is look at France, the country in the world most like the US. Every body and every burg wants TGV, not regional which loses money. And some of the TGV's are losing money.
The only transport mode which looks at this juncture to remain mostly fossil is aviation. So replacing some airline flights between NorCal and SoCal stands as the only "green" feature of CAHSR as autos will likely gradually and possibly forcedly go to electric. And electric vehicles interface more easily with some degree of driverless. Tesla is soon to be muscled by the big boys - some big R&D is going into EV's.
Factoring in wait times and travel to airports some markets could be very competitive for genuine HSR. Like, say, greater Sta. Clarita area to Silicon Valley via Tejon, I-5, Altamont, Dumbarton.
I would do on board amenities like a decent lunch, a bar, maybe some slot machines. Stuff you won't get on a plane. A pleasant and reliable 2-3 hour trip.
And why should Bako worry about becoming a bedroom community for LaLa? Palmdale lusts for it.

Bait and switch? Or maybe just some master baiting from a racist troll?
