He was hacked. Youtube took down the account. He’s currently working to get it reinstated, may have to start a new channel. Kinda sucks that most of the documentation of this project is on a single channel because CAHSR sucks at PR apparently. ---

Connecting Central Valley first was clearly an attempt to show proof of concept to inspire the will to connect everything else. I’ve also seen some people complain about this project not working because there are too many stops and that takes up too much time to be worthwhile. But that can easily be remedied by having express trains that don’t stop at every station. There are few things I hate more in life than naysayers. California is one of the biggest economies in the world, they clearly need something like this to ease the housing demand thats become unsustainable. ---
