I couldn't agree more with the conclusions stated above. I, too, support HSR in principal, but the plan put forth by the CAHSR Authority is mired in fantasy and, in terms or ridership projections, outright fraud, and the taxpayers deserve a completely new look at all the assumptions round which the current plan is based.

Mr. Gordon:
endlessly repeating that HSR will happen is not going to make it happen. It takes money. Money that the CHSR doesn't have and never will.

I'm not surprised the report reached these findings, but would like to read it. Is it available to the public, perhaps on a web site?
I am surprised that in Silicon Valley, there is support for HSR, a technology that I think will be superseded (in the US) by systems including electronically-controlled automobiles--technology that is being developed right here in the valley.

Looking ahead...instead of looking backward. Railroads were terrific and innovative in the 19th century. It's folly to invest in a project of this nature now.

The link above should work now. There was an error in the URL. It takes a minute or so to load.

The report is also available WITH APENDICIES A, B AND C at www.cc-hsr.org. The apendicies are well worth reading too.
