They would be waiting forever if they wanted to break ground in downtown la or sf first.
You can’t will car lobbies and nimbys to action, you have to coerce the general public and the state, and this incomplete rail will be the coercion.
Honestly it’s a brilliant strategy for a shitty situation. After this phase, if they somehow don’t get permission to complete the line, they would never have gotten rail built between the cities anyway.
I just hope it works so that people can shut up with the high speed rail only works in other places garbage. Just tell them to go visit california and see how good it is... Only works if they finish it so I hope they do.
