There are no true cheerleaders for this project on the "left" who favor trains and transit. The CHSRA is a huge waste, as currently mismanaged and misplanned, compared to the list of local transit and regional rail improvements that would actually do some good for the economy, congestion, or the environment.
The CHSRA Board is going soon, kicking and screaming, as reform legislation is going to pass the Senate and Assembly, and be signed by the Governor, replacing all of this dysfunctional Board.
California deserves a first class rail passenger system that meets real travel needs, built on our successful regional and intercity system, not a gold plated boondoggle run by an unaccountable agency.
