Opposing view on running a high-speed train down 101

Despite where the Bullet Train runs, how does it get past UP tracks?

Dear Editor,

Running the Bullet Train down the U.S. 101 median is B.S. Baloney Bunk. You're missing the point: Who's going to pay for it? A supersonic jet costs are much cheaper, if you include all costs (don't use VTA-COG accounting to report truth in transportation. Use legal accounting to see truth in transport.)

Second, even if you do find someone stupid enough to pay for the its $1 to $4 billion annual operating losses, plus construction costs now estimated at $81 billion, how do you get past Union Pacific Railroad's property? Unless we're now going to nationalize the American railroads, you don't without the UPRR's permission.
