High Speed Rail....Well, how cozy. Now that Mr. Morshed has managed to completely set the Peninsula on fire with the High Speed Rail that will take dozens of homes along the peninsula through eminent Domaine, in order to build the tracks for the high speed rail, he steps down. Sickening. Thanks so much Mr. Morshed for your contribution to probably one of the most alarming threats of emminent domaine the people of the sf peninsula have ever been presented with.

What on earth makes you think that because he goes away, that a younger, more energized and futurist won't take his place?
I believe our Governor is determined to make this his most important contribution to California before leaving and if it means saving a State instead of some marbled home mansions, tough luck.
