its not going to rip through your community its going thru jsut like the train curretnly goes throught and why would is stop you from taking the train to work and walking to shops? Its not a human eating alien sea monster, its just another train.

I'm trying to not be insulted by your NIMBY comments, however, I moved to Burlingame and bought small home with a steep cost so that I could walk to shops, take the train to work; and use SFO for my frequent work related travel.

I'm upset that this will rip through my community and cause me to be unable to walk to shops, schools, etc. Not to mention the noise. The people who live in this community will not benefit as I see it.

Personally I see this as a waste of money at a time when the money could be put to better use.

A lincoln or a cadillac would be nice. Lots of comfy roomy luxury.

The Cadillac is a GM-made car. I sincerely hope CAHSR won't look like it. Just get a Renault system, or a Honda system.

Transit Oriented Development is essentially a proxy issue here. It has very little to do with HSR itself, and instead is a more general enlightened anti-postwar suburban vision.

Nobody has justified HSR from a TOD perspective based on ROI. (The ridership model is based on air travel, for one.) And the arguments that attempt to do so sound a whole lot like the old Underwear Gnomes thing.

On the other hand, if you're from the construction lobby...

Well, a lot of people here haven't reconciled their desire for a Cadillac system at Chevrolet prices.

View Diridon's Rotten Apples comment directed at us (deniers) on the peninsula.

Again, Morris? We've already discussed this. Diridon didn't call you out by name, nor did he say that all of the opposition is spreading misinformation.

I can attest that misinformation is indeed being spread here on the Peninsula. And it's entirely appropriate that CHSRA would want the record corrected when incorrect information is reported as fact. And a PR firm is precisely who you employ to make sure that the public gets the correct information. Why would you expect anything different?
